Take the Hardest Thing in Your Life – Lilias Trotter

Take the very hardest thing in your life — the place of difficulty, outward or inward, and expect God to triumph gloriously in that very spot. Just there He can bring your soul into blossom.

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus – Lilias Trotter

Turn your soul’s vision to Jesus, and look and look at Him, and a strange dimness will come over all that is apart from Him.

(note: this is the quote that inspired the song “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus”)

And we ourselves are ‘saved to save’-we are made to give-to let everything go if only we may have more to give. The pebble takes in all the rays of light that fall on it, but the diamond flashes them out again; every little facet is a means, not simply of drinking more in, but of giving more out.

Yes, there lies before us a beautiful possible life – one that shall have a passion for giving: that shall be poured forth to God – spent out for man: that shall be consecrated for the hardest work and the darkest sinners.

We have not to produce out of our higher nature a lowliness and a patience and a purity of our own, but simply to let the pure, patient, lowly life of Jesus have its way in us by yieldingness to it and by faith in its indwelling might. “All that God wants from man is opportunity.” The whole of our relationship to His power, whether for sanctification or for service, is summed up in those words.

Measure thy life by loss and not by gain, not by wine drunk, but wine poured forth; for love’s strength standeth in love’s sacrifice, and he who suffers has most to give.
