We are chosen for joy. However hard the Christian way, it is both in the traveling and in the goal, the way of joy.
William BarclayChristian freedom does not mean being free to do as we like; it means being free to do as we ought.
William BarclayIt may well be that the world is denied miracle after miracle and triumph after triumph because we will not bring to Christ what we have and what we are. If, just as we are, we would lay ourselves on the altar of service of Jesus Christ, there is no saying what Christ could do with us and through us.
William Barclay
