Many Christians estimate difficulties in the light of their own resources, and thus attempt little and often fail in the little they attempt. All God's giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reckoned on His power and presence with them.

As a rule, prayer is answered and funds come in, but if we are kept waiting, the spiritual blessing that is the outcome is far more precious than exemption from the trial.

Truly Jesus is the great need of our souls.

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

I myself, for instance, am not especially gifted, and am shy by nature, but my gracious and merciful God and Father inclined Himself to me, and when I was weak in faith He strengthened me while I was still young. He taught me in my helplessness to rest on Him, and to pray even about little things in which another might have felt able to help himself.

God's work is not man working for God; it is God's own work, though often wrought through man's hands.

All God's giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reackoned on God being with them.
