To every toiling, heavy-laden sinner, Jesus says, “Come to me and rest.” But there are many toiling, heavy-laden believers, too. For them this same invitation is meant. Note well the words of Jesus, if you are heavy-laden with your service… “Come to me and rest.” Never, never did Christ send a heavy laden one to work.

I should like to allude to a few points in the character of Mr. Hudson Taylor which impressed me personally, and which I think had something to do with the blessing that God granted to his efforts on behalf of this country (China). First his prayerfulness; he was of necessity a busy man, but he always regarded prayer itself as in reality the most needful and important part of the work.

God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supply.

If the Bible were not true the sooner we found it out and threw it aside the better … but if it is true, the sooner we live up to it and act up to it the better. If any of you were offered a bank of England note, whether for five pounds or five thousand pounds, you would never doubt the value of it, you would take the words printed on it as sure. And are not the words printed in this book [the Bible] as sure?

God owns all the silver and the gold in the world and all the cattle on a thousand hills, we need not be vegetarians.

I used to ask God to help me. Then I asked if I might help Him. I ended up by asking God to do His work though me.
