Jesus is our strength, and what we cannot do or bear, He can both do and bear in us.

If we wait till we run no risk, the gospel will never be introduced into the interior.

The missionary spirit is the spirit of Jesus, the spirit of the incarnation and the cross.

In Shansi I found Chinese Christians who were accustomed to spend time in fasting and prayer. They recognized that this fasting, which so many dislike, which requires faith in God, since it makes one feel weak and poorly, is really a Divinely appointed means of grace. Perhaps the greatest hindrance to our work is our own imagined strength; and in fasting we learn what poor, weak creatures we are-dependent on a meal of meat for the little strength which we are so apt to lean upon.

I used to ask God to help me. Then I asked if I might help Him to do His work through me.

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.

Believing prayer will lead to whole-hearted action.
