Life as His River
My Top 10 list of quotes from the great missionary to China
Hudson Taylor
One of our great examples of being a River
- “I used to ask God to help me. Then I asked if I might help Him. I ended up by asking Him to do His work through me.”
- “Many Christians estimate difficulties in the light of their own resources, and thus attempt little and often fail in the little they attempt. All God’s giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reckoned on His power and presence with them.”
- “At the timberline where the storms strike with the most fury, the sturdiest trees are found.”
- The branch of the vine does not worry, and toil, and rush here to seek for sunshine, and there to find rain. No; it rests in union and communion with the vine; and at the right time, and in the right way, is the right fruit found on it. Let us so abide in the Lord Jesus.”
- “The Great Commission is not an option to be considered; it is a command to be obeyed.”
- “It will not do to say that you have no special call to go to China. With these facts before you and with the command of the Lord Jesus to go and preach the gospel to every creature, you need rather to ascertain whether you have a special call to stay at home.”
- “I have found that there are three stages in every great work of God: first, it is impossible, then it is difficult, then it is done.”
- “God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supplies.”
- “I am no longer anxious about anything, as I realize the Lord is able to carry out His will, and His will is mine. It makes no matter where He places me, or how. That is rather for Him to consider than for me; for in the easiest positions He must give me His grace, and in the most difficult, His grace is sufficient.”
- “Christ is either Lord of all, or He is not Lord at all”
I could do much worse than to make these 10 statements my guide to being His River today.
