The work of a true convert is not done. He finds a great work to do and great wants to be supplied. He still sees himself to be a poor, empty, helpless creature who still stands in great and continual need of God’s help. He well knows that without God he can do nothing. After a true conversion, the soul is increasingly aware of its own impotence and emptiness. It is still aware of its universal dependence on God for everything.
– Jonathan Edwards –
The question for each man to settle is not what he would do for the Lord if he had more money, time or education, but what he will do with the things he has. It’s not who you are or what you have that matters—but whether Christ controls you.
– Dawson Trotman –
God gives His own self totally to us that we may offer ourselves completely to Him.

The Christian life is the life of the Lord Jesus Christ lived two thousand years ago, lived now by Him in you!
– Ian Thomas –
Remember what sin is: the fundamental independence of God; the thing in me that says, I can do without God, I don’t need Him.
– Oswald Chambers –
Earth has no words that can convey the holy calm of a soul leaning on Jesus.
– Charles Spurgeon –
God always has and always will look for men and women who say to Him, “I trust you so much, I’m all in. I want your way not mine. I am willing to live by faith!”
– Chip Ingram –
[God] wants you to have something far better than riches and gold, and that is helpless dependence upon Him.
