"There is a whole world of difference between those who look only for their own happiness in this world and those who know that their true happiness lies in the will of God."

Elisabeth Elliot

"Without Christ,

not one step.

With Him -- anywhere!"

David Livingstone

"There is no work better than to please God;

to pour water,

to wash dishes,

to be a cobbler,

or an apostle,

all are one;

to wash dishes and to preach are all one,

as touching the deed,

to please God."

William Tyndale

"This I saw, that when a soul loves God with a supreme love, God's interests and his become one.

It is no matter when or where nor how Christ should send me, nor what trials He should exercise me with, if I may be prepared for His work and will."

David Brainerd

"Many men owe the grandeur of their lives to their tremendous difficulties."

C. H. Spurgeon

"You may not understand why He leads you now in this way and now in that, but you may, nay, you must believe that perfection is stamped in His every act."

Elisabeth Prentiss
