I wasn’t God’s first choice for what I’ve done in China…I don’t know who it was…it must have been a man…a well-educated man. I don’t know what happened. Perhaps he died. Perhaps he wasn’t willing…and God looked down…and saw Gladys Aylward…and God said, “Well, she’s willing.”

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.

We are not going to organize something for God to bless.

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.

Without Christ, not one step; with Him, anywhere!
– David Livingstone –
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 –
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 –
When we get to the end of our ministry, one of our regrets will be that we did not preach more of Christ.
