suffering comfort dare
it is no small comfort to me to know that God has called me to my work, putting me where I am and as I am. I have not sought the position, and I dare not leave it. He knows why He places me here-whether to do, or learn, or suffer.
lying real secret
The real secret of an unsatisfied life lies too often in an unsurrendered will.
grace and-love platforms
All our difficulties are only platforms for the manifestations of His grace, power and love.
christian might helping
I used to ask God to help me. Then I asked if I might help Him to do His work through me.
giving grace trials
So if God should place me in serious perplexity, must He not give me much guidance; in places of great difficulty, much grace; in circumstances of great pressure and trial, much strength? No fear that HIs resources will prove unequal to the emergency! And His resources are mine, for He is mine, and is with me and dwells in me.
men missionary use
God uses men who are weak and feeble enough to lean on him.
inspiring christian missionary
God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply.
mean grace missionary
The harvest here is indeed great, and the laborers are few and imperfectly fitted, without much grace, for such a work. And yet grace can make a few feeble instruments the means of accomplishing great things - things greater even than we can conceive.
christian effort missionary
If the Lord is coming soon, is this not a very practical motive for greater missionary effort? I know of no other motive that has been so stimulating to myself.
jesus soul religion
Truly Jesus is the great need of our souls.
real dwelling joy
It is the consciousness of the threefold joy of the Lord, His joy in ransoming us, His joy in dwelling within us as our Saviour and Power for fruitbearing and His joy in possessing us, as His Bride and His delight; it is the consciousness of this joy which is our real strength. Our joy in Him may be a fluctuating thing: His joy in us knows no change.
waiting lost lost-time
It is not lost time to wait upon God!
faith limits
Too often we attempt to work for God to the limit of our incompetency, rather than to the limit of God's omnipotency.
christian people purpose
Not infrequently our GOD brings His people into difficulties on purpose that they may come to know Him as they could not otherwise do.
