As for God, His way is perfect.
Psalm 18:30




“Christ sent me to preach the gospel and He will look after the results.” 
-Mary Slessor

Be 100% wherever you are.


Elisabeth Elliot wrote that “waiting on God requires the willingness to bear uncertainty, to carry within oneself the unanswered question, lifting the heart to God about it whenever it intrudes upon one’s thoughts.”

The woman who is clothed with strength and who rejoices, does so – not because everything is sunny and the coffers are full – but because she knows that both in this moment, and in all future moments, God is faithful.

She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.
Prov 31:25

May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through... The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.
1 Thess 5:23, 24

"...to bestow on them a crown of beauty
    instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
    instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
    instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
    a planting of the Lord
    for the display of his splendor."
Is 61:3

The gentle and quiet spirit is an "adornment" (v. 4–5). It can be observed. And this is the kind of publicity that "in God's sight is very precious." Publicity like this has a missional effect. 

If we may but be a crystallizing point from which God can work, it matters nothing how insignificant that starting point.

Take the very hardest thing in your life—the place of difficulty, outward or inward, and expect God to triumph gloriously in that very spot. Just there He can bring your soul into bloom!

Faith is the link which joins our uttermost weakness to God's almighty strength.

I am full of hope that when God delays in fulfilling our little thoughts, it is to have Himself room to work out His great ones.


"And the results need not end with our earthly days. . . . God may use, by reason of the wonderful solidarity of His Church, the things that He has wrought in us, for the blessing of souls unknown to us: God only knows the endless possibilities that lie folded in each one of us!"

(Lilias Trotter)



anything we do for God has a life that goes beyond who or where we are and, in His way and His time, will be used for eternity.

“God is God. … He is worthy of my worship and my service. I will find rest nowhere but in His will, and that will is … unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what He is up to.”

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. Dear children, let US not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth .  This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in His presence whenever our hearts condemn us.  For God is greater than our hearts, and He knows everything. Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from Him anything we ask, because we obey His commands and do what pleases Him.  And THIS is His command: to believe in the name of His son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as He commanded us.  Those who obey His commands live in Him, and He in them.  And this is how we know that He lives in us: We know by the Spirit he gave us. 1 John 3:16, 18-20 How do we set our hearts at rest in His presence, even when our hearts seem to condemn us?  Love one another.  Not with words or tongue, but wit...

Charles Spurgeon, on 2 Timothy 1:9... "Those whom the Saviour saved on the cross are in due time effectively called by the power of God the Holy Spirit to holiness. They leave their sins, and they endeavor to be like Christ. They choose holiness, not out of any compulsion, but from the influence of a new nature, which leads them to     rejoice in holiness       just as naturally    as before they delighted in sin. God neither chose them nor called them because they were holy, but He called them so that they might be holy, and holiness is the beauty produced by His workmanship in them. The Christlike qualities that we see in a believer are as much the work of God as the Atonement itself.  Thus the fullness of the grace of God is brought out very sweetly... The believer's privilege is a present salvation; the evidence that he is called to it is his holy life."
