Now, some of you may be shy by nature, perhaps feeling yourselves inadequate to respond affirmatively to a calling. Remember that this work is not yours and mine alone. It is the Lord's work, and when we are on the Lord's errand, brethren, we are entitled to the Lord's help. Remember that the Lord will shape the back to bear the burden placed upon it.

The Lord shapes the back to bear the burden placed upon it.

Love is the catalyst that causes change. Love is the balm that brings healing to the soul.
