Trying to do the Lord’s work in your own strength is the most confusing, exhausting, and tedious of all work. But when you are filled with the Holy Spirit, then the ministry of Jesus just flows out of you.

Just as water ever seeks and fills the lowest place, so the moment God finds you abased and empty, His glory and power flow in.
– Andrew Murray –
God has one destined end for mankind—holiness! His one aim is the production of saints. God is not an eternal blessing-machine for men. He did not come to save men out of pity. He came to save men because He had created them to be holy.
– Oswald Chambers –
The more fascinated we become with the toys of this world the more we forget that there’s another world to come.
– AW Tozer –
Christ is enough. To have Him and nothing else is to be rich beyond conniving. To have all else and have not Christ is to be a cosmic pauper, cut off forever from all that will matter at last.

from A Man of God
What is the secret to great living? Entire separation to Christ and devotion to Him. Thus speaks every man and woman whose life has made more than a passing flicker in the spiritual realm. It is the life that has no time for trifling that counts.
– Amy Carmichael –
Every man is a missionary, now and forever, for good or for evil, whether he intends or designs it or not. He may be a blot radiating his dark influence outward to the very circumference of society, or he may be a blessing spreading benediction over the length and breadth of the world. But a blank he cannot be: there are no moral blanks; there are no neutral characters.
– Thomas Chalmers –
Religion can reform a person’s life, but it can never transform him. Only the Holy Spirit can transform!
– AW Tozer –
What we need is not more learning, not more eloquence, not more persuasion, not more organization, but more power from the Holy Spirit.
