God has made me as bread for His chosen ones, and if it is necessary for me to be ground in the teeth of lions in order to feed His children, then blessed be the name of the Lord.
– St. Ignatius, Early Christian Martyr –
(quoted in Cowman, Streams in the Desert, 1996, pg 238)
God’s work of refining and purifying the soul must go on until his servants are so humbled, so dead to self, that when called into active service, they may have an eye single to the glory of God.”
– EG White –
in Review and Herald April 10, 1894
As long as I am something, Jesus cannot be everything.
– Andrew Murray –
The most Holy men are always the most lowly men. The coat of humility should always be worn upon the back of Christianity.
