When God is at the center . . . people naturally make the right choices because they are listening to His voice rather than the voice of their own selfish desires.

The world has yet to see what God can do with a man fully consecrated to him. By God’s help, I aim to be that man.

– DL Moody –

While often attributed to D.L. Moody, the quote was actually given by Henry Varley in a conversation he had with Moody. Several renditions of the quote have been given:

The world has not seen what God can do with a life fully yielded to Him.

The world has yet to see what God can do with and for and through and in and by the man who is fully and wholly consecrated to Him. I aim to be that man.

All my devotion is an insult to God unless every bit of my practical life squares with Jesus Christ’s demands.

Revival will call for much love and humility, because it may please God to use one man more extensively than another. The fleece of one denomination may appear to be wet with the dews of heaven while another is only damp with it. In some cases God may use the least gifted of men – at least some would so judge them – and in the least likely of churches find a channel for His grace. May God preserve us from a spirit which would prefer to see no revival at all if it did not come in our form, after our pattern, and through our instrumentality.

The mark of a life governed by the Holy Spirit is that such a life is continually and ever more and more occupied with Christ, that Christ becomes greater and greater as time goes on.

I started at the bottom and loved just one; and if you love one, you can love many; and if many, you can love all.

Just as it is impossible to be both a plant and a seed, so it is impossible for us to be surrounded by worldly honor and at the same time bear heavenly fruit.
