Grieve not, then, if your sons seem to desert you, but rejoice, rather, seeing the will of God done gladly.

I have felt the impact of your prayer in these past weeks. I am certain now that nothing has had a more powerful infl uence on this life of mine than your prayers.

Missionaries are very human folks, simply a bunch of nobodies trying to exalt somebody.

Unwillingness to accept God's 'way of escape' from temptation frightens me - what a rebel yet resides within.

Why do you need a voice when you have a verse?

Lord, make my way prosperous not that I achieve high station, but that my life be an exhibit to the value of knowing God.

I pray for you, that all your misgivings will be melted to thanksgivings. Remember that the shadow a thing casts often far exceeds the size of the thing itself (especially if the light be low on the horizon) and though some future fear may strut brave darkness as you approach, the thing itself will be but a speck when seen from beyond. Oh that He would restore us often with that 'aspect from beyond,' to see a thing as He sees it, to remember that He dealeth with us as with sons.
