I often think that God must have been looking for someone small enough and weak enough for Him to use, and that He found me.

It matters not how great the pressure is, only where the pressure lies. As long as the pressure does not come between me and my Savior, but presses me to Him, then the greater the pressure, the greater my dependence upon Him.

[God] wants you to have something far better than riches and gold, and that is helpless dependence upon Him.

God means just what He says and He will do all that He has promised.

So if God should place me in serious perplexity, must He not give me much guidance; in places of great difficulty, much grace; in circumstances of great pressure and trial, much strength? No fear that HIs resources will prove unequal to the emergency! And His resources are mine, for He is mine, and is with me and dwells in me.

Oh, for eloquence to plead the cause of China, for a pencil dipped in fire to paint the condition of this people.

One difficulty follows another very fast - but God reigns, not chance.
