God’s Will

Co-Workers with Jesus Christ – Lottie Moon

Should we not press it home upon our consciences that the sole object of our conversion was not the salvation of our own souls, but that we might become co-workers with our Lord and Master in the conversion of the world?

– Lottie Moon –
missionary to China (1840-1912)

God Comes In To Rebuild – CS Lewis

Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. … You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.

– CS Lewis –

God Wants Something More – Andrew Murray

God wants something more and something higher. God wants us to seek for the Holy Spirit as a Spirit of power in our own heart and life, to conquer self and cast out sin, and to work the blessed and beautiful image of Jesus into us.

Pray for Guidance vs Obedience – Elisabeth Elliot

Does it make sense to pray for guidance about the future if we are not obeying in the things that lie before us today? How many momentous events in Scripture depended on one person’s seemingly small act of obedience! Rest assured: Do what God tell you to do now, and, depend on it, you will be shown what to do next.

God’s Desire is to Reveal Himself – Jeanne Guyon

Oh, If only once we could be convinced of God’s goodness towards His children and of His desire to reveal Himself to them! We would no longer seek out own selfish desires. We would not be so quickly discouraged from pursuing what He is so long to give us:

Romans 8:32 – “He who spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not, with Him, also freely give us all things?”

We only need a little courage and perseverance. Actually, we have enough of both in our earthly affairs, but none at all in the only thing that really matters (Luke 10:42).
