The will of God is sweet tonight, altogether ‘good and acceptable and perfect.’ The considerate love of the Lord Jesus for us seems such a kind thing now. I know it has always been so, but somehow I didn’t see how wise it was when it didn’t seem kind… Remind me of this when I cannot regard His love as considerate some time.

It makes me boil when I think of the power we profess and the utter impotency of our action. Believers who know one-tenth as much as we do are doing one-hundred times more for God, with His blessing and our criticism. Oh if I could write it, preach it, say it, paint it, anything at all, if only God's power would become known among us.

So many missionaries, intent on doing something, forget that His main work is to make something of them.

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

I seek not a long life, but a full one, like you Lord Jesus.

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.

God, I pray light these idle sticks of my life and may I burn up for thee.
