“Quotes Corner” “Begin at once; before you venture away from this quiet moment, ask your King to
take you wholly into his service, and place all the hours of this day quite simply at his
disposal, and ask him to make and keep you ready to do exactly what he appoints. Never mind about tomorrow; one day at a time is
enough. Try it today, and see if it is not a day of strange, almost curious peace, so sweet
that you will be only too thankful when tomorrow comes to ask him to take it also.”
Frances Ridley Havergal
“Before the judgement seat of Christ my service will not be judged by how much I
have done but by how much of me there is in it. No man gives at all until he has given all. No man gives anything acceptable to
God until he has first given himself in love and sacrifice.”
A.W. Tozer
“Christ has no hands but our hands To do his work today;
He has no feet but our feet To lead men in his way;
He has no tongues but our tongues To tell men how he died;
He has no help but our help To bring them to his side.”
