Fill Thou my life, O Lord my God,
In every part with praise,
That my whole being may proclaim
Thy being and Thy ways.
Not for the lip of praise alone,
Nor e’en the praising heart
I ask, but for a life made up
Of praise in every part.
– Horatius Bonar –
Do not imagine that you will be anymore spiritually effective on the mission field that you are in your own home town. Indeed, you will find it a thousand times more difficult.
– Ian Thomas –
[God] needs no one, but when faith is present He works through anyone.

God’s training ground, where the missionary weapons are found, is the hidden, personal, worshiping life of the saint.
– Oswald Chambers –
The law and the gospel are two keys. The law is the key that shutteth up all men under condemnation, and the gospel is the key which opens the door and lets them out.
– William Tyndale –
God is my everlasting King;
God is my Strength, and I will sing;
His power upholds my feeble frame;
And I’m victorious through his name.
Devils retreat when he appears;
Then I arise above my fears;
And every fiery dart repel;
And vanquish all the force of hell.
Through the Redeemer’s precious blood;
I feel the mighty power of God;
Through the rich aid divinely given;
I rise from earth, and soar to heaven.
[Dear Lord, thy weaker saints inspire,
And fill them with celestial fire;
On thy kind arm may they rely,
And all their foes shall surely fly.]
Now, Lord, thy wondrous power exert,
And every ransomed soul support;
Give us fresh strength to wing our way
To regions of eternal day.
[There may we praise the great I AM,
And shout the victories of the Lamb;
Raise every chorus to his blood,
And triumph in the power of God.]
– R. Burnham –
We ought not to be weary of doing little things for the love of God, who regards not the greatness of the work, but the love with which it is performed.
– Brother Lawrence –
The rain-tested few are worth more than the fair-weather many.
