“Oh to be filled with the knowledge of God’s will to be be so filled with the presence of the Lord Jesus, so one with Him, that His life may flow through our veins; that He may borrow our lips to speak His messages, borrow our faces to look His looks of patience and love, our hands to do His service and our feet to tread His weary journeys. The dear Master can never be weary again by the side of any well, but we may be weary by the side of many for Him.
“In times of discouragement it is a great help to remember that the Lord’s work is not our work for the Lord, but the Lord’s own work through us and others. ‘He will not fail, nor be discouraged.’”
From Hudson Taylor and the China Inland Mission: The Growth of a Work of God, by Dr. Howard Taylor and Mrs. Howard Taylor (1918, first edition), pp. 408-409.
