Elizabeth Elliot

I am not a theologian or a scholar, but I am very aware of the fact that pain is necessary to all of us. In my own life, I think I can honestly say that out of the deepest pain has come the strongest conviction of the presence of God and the love of God.

J. Hudson Taylor

The branch of the vine does not worry, and toil, and rush here to seek for sunshine, and there to find rain. No; it rests in union and communion with the vine; and at the right time, and in the right way, is the right fruit found on it. Let us so abide in the Lord Jesus.

1 Peter 4:13

Rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when His glory is revealed.

George Verwer

My greatest help in Christ is that moment by moment I can pass my distress over to him.

Oswald Chambers

All of God's people are ordinary people who have been made extraordinary by the purpose he has given them.

D. L. Moody

Give your life to God; he can do more with it than you can!

J. Hudson Taylor, founder of China Inland Mission, in the closing months of his life said to a friend, "I am so weak. I can't read my Bible. I can't even pray. I can only lie still in God's arms like a little child and trust."

Joni Eareckson Tada

Deny your weakness, and you will never realize God's strength in you.

Elizabeth Elliot

The world cries for men who are strong: strong in conviction, strong to lead, to stand, to suffer.

John 7:17

Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.

Bruce Larson

We have a choice. We can carry the world on our shoulders, or we can say, "I give up, Lord; here's my life. I give you my world, the whole world."

Eric Liddel

Circumstances may appear to wreck our lives and God's plans, but God is not helpless among the ruins. God's love is still working. He comes in and takes the calamity and uses it victoriously, working out His wonderful plan of love.

Luis Palau

When you face the perils of weariness, carelessness, and confusion, don't pray for an easier life. Pray instead to be a stronger man or woman of God.

J. Hudson Taylor

I have seen many men work without praying, though I have never seen any good come out of it; but I have never seen a man pray without working.
