We are so busy working for God, we forget He is trying to work on us. That is what this life is all about: God at work on us, trying to remake us into vessels of glory.

Doing great things for God – Hudson Taylor
Many Christians estimate difficulty in the light of their own resources, and thus they attempt very little and they always fail. All giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reckoned on His power and presence to be with them.

Organizing something ourselves – Leonard Ravenhill
We are not going to organize something for God to bless.

The difficulty and joy of life – Gladys Aylward
Life is pitiful, death so familiar, suffering and pain so common, yet I would not be anywhere else. Do not wish me out of this or in any way seek to get me out, for I will not be got out while this trial is on. These are my people, God has given them to me, and I will live or die with for Him and His glory.
– Gladys Aylward –
Anywhere With Christ – David Livingstone
Without Christ, not one step; with Him, anywhere!
– David Livingstone –
If God has called you – Gladys Aylward
If God has called you to China or any other place and you are sure in your own heart, let nothing deter you. Remember, it is God who has called you and it is the same as when He called Moses or Samuel.
– Gladys Aylward –
Success and Sacrifice – Adoniram Judson
There is no success without sacrifice. If you succeed without sacrifice it is because someone has suffered before you. If you sacrifice without success it is because someone will succeed after.
– Adoniram Judson –
Preach more of Christ – Charles Spurgeon
When we get to the end of our ministry, one of our regrets will be that we did not preach more of Christ.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Am I willing to go? – George Muller
When we ask God for a thing, such as that He would be pleased to raise up labourers for His harvest, or send means for the carrying on of His work, the honest question to be put to our hearts should be this: Am I willing to go, if He should call me? Am I willing to give according to my ability? For we may be the very persons whom the Lord will call for the work, or whose means He may wish to employ.
