“It is no small comfort to me to know that God has called me to my work, putting me where I am and as I am. I have not sought the position, and I dare not leave it. He knows why He places me here-whether to do, or learn, or suffer.”
Hudson Taylor (Missionary, 1832 – 1905)
“Depend on it. God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supply. He is too wise a God to frustrate His purposes for lack of funds, and He can just as easily supply them ahead of time as afterwards, and He much prefers doing so.”
Hudson Taylor (Missionary, 1832 – 1905)
“I used to ask God to help me. Then I asked if I might help Him to do His work through me.”
Hudson Taylor (Missionary, 1832 – 1905)
“Not infrequently our GOD brings His people into difficulties on purpose that they may come to know Him as they could not otherwise do.”
Hudson Taylor (Missionary, 1832 – 1905)
“It does not matter how great the pressure is. What really matters is where the pressure lies — whether it comes between you and God, or whether it presses you nearer His heart.”
Hudson Taylor (Missionary, 1832 – 1905)
“There are three stages in the work of God: impossible, difficult, done.”
Hudson Taylor (Missionary, 1832 – 1905)
“Dream a dream so big that unless God intervenes it will fail.”
Hudson Taylor (Missionary, 1832 – 1905)
“When I cannot read, when I cannot think, when I cannot even pray, I can trust.”
Hudson Taylor (Missionary, 1832 – 1905)
“Let us give up our work, our thoughts, our plans, ourselves, our lives, our loved ones, our influence, our all, right into His hand, and then, when we have given all over to Him, there will be nothing left for us to trouble about, or to make trouble about.”
Hudson Taylor (Missionary, 1832 – 1905)
“Abiding in Jesus isn’t fixing our attention on Christ, but it is being one with Him… A man is abiding just as much when he is sleeping for Jesus, as when he is awake and working for Jesus. Oh, it is a very sweet thing to have one’s mind just resting there.”
Hudson Taylor (Missionary, 1832 – 1905)
