and now the most recent (and final) edition of quotes & notes from "the normal christian life." another book i just finished reading (it only took me about 4 months)....it was altogether different from anne of green gables but also on the "recommended reading list."
"...the basis of all service is this: that you pour out all you have, your very self unto Him; and if that should be all He allows you to do, that is enough. it is not first of all a question of whether "the poor have been helped or not." that will follow but the first question is: has the Lord been satisfied?"
"the Lord's first concern is with our position at His feet and our annointing of His head."
"whatever we have as an 'alabaster box': the most precious thing, the thing dearest to us - we give that all up to the Lord...often enough the giving to him will be in tirelss service, but he reserves to himself the right to suspend the service for a time, in order to discover to us whether it is that, or himself, that holds us."
"...in divine service the principle of waste is the principle of power."
"take your eyes off that other man! look at your Lord, and ask yourself again what it is that He values most highly."
"Lord, i do not mind about that. if only i can please thee, it is enough."
"what the Lord looks for in us is a life laid at His feet."
i want the impression i leave to be the impression of God Himself.
