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

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

Rest in this - it is His business to lead, command, impel, send, call... It is your business to obey, follow, move, respond.

The will of God is always a bigger thing than we bargain for, but we must believe that whatever it involves, it is good, acceptable and perfect.

God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with him.

God, I pray Thee, light these idle sticks of my life and may I burn for Thee. Consume my life, my God, for it is Thine. I seek not a long life, but a full one, like you, Lord Jesus.

Lord, give me firmness without hardness, steadfastness without dogmatism, love without weakness.

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

Lord, make my way prosperous not that I achieve high station, but that my life be an exhibit to the value of knowing God.

Father, make of me a crisis man. Bring those I contact to decision. Let me not be a milepost on a single road; make me a fork, that men must turn one way or another on facing Christ in me.

Always seek peace between your heart and God, but in this world, always be careful to remain ever-restless, never satisfied, and always abounding in the work of the Lord.

I don't think you feel much of anything anymore.

Suppress anger and the world will be good for you, suppress more anger and the world will be better with you. Suppress all your anger and then you will not be okay with this world.

O wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursel's as ithers see us!

The heroic hours of life do not announce their presence by drum and trumpet.

My voice is an instrument.

You don't write for success. That takes part of your attention away from the writing. If you're really doing it, that's all you're doing: writing.

Some people spend the whole of their lives sitting waiting for one train, only to find that they never even made it to the station.

I measure Your love for me by the magnitude of the wrath I deserved, and the wonder of Your mercy by putting Christ in my place.

Give back what you have learned. Share your experience.
