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.

Forgive me for being so ordinary while claiming to know so extraordinary a God.

Wherever you are, be all there! Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God.
