You have nothing to be proud of. If you are ever used at all, bear in mind that it is God speaking in you, and not you yourself.

The saintly Andrew Bonar used to soak his pillow with tears every Saturday night in Scotland as people below trampled the streets returning from the taverns and shows. He would cry from the depths of his agonizing heart, “Oh! They perish, they perish!”
Paul saw people sinking toward hell and did not talk of refining them, but of saving them from the wrath to come. He laid aside his preferences to prevent prejudice; He submitted his will in things indifferent, and if humankind would but receive the Gospel, he raised no questions about forms or ceremonies. Are we possessed with the same all-absorbing desire? Jesus died for sinners, can’t we live for them?
– Charles Spurgeon –
Our lives are to be indisputable evidence of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
– Carter Conlon –
We have the truth and we need not be afraid to say so.

No sort of defense is needed for preaching outdoors, but it would take a very strong argument to prove that a man who has never preached beyond the walls of his meetinghouse has done his duty. A defense is required for services within buildings rather than for worship outside of them.
– William Booth –
Preach abroad. … It is the cooping yourselves up in rooms that has dampened the work of God, which never was and never will be carried out to any purpose without going into the highways and hedges and compelling men and women to come in.
– Jonathan Edwards –
Go straight for souls and go for the worst.

This may be counted as our richest gain, to have learned afresh one’s utter impotency so completely that the past axiom of service, ‘I can no more convert a soul than create a star,’ comes to be an awful revelation, so that God alone may be exalted in that day
