Trying to do the Lord's work in your own strength is the most confusing, exhausting, and tedious of all work. But when you are filled with the Holy Spirit, then the ministry of Jesus just flows out of you.
- Corrie ten Boom
It is possible to be so active in the service of Christ as to forget to love Him.
- P.T. Forsyth
True saints do what they do because they are drawn by love. True Christians find that the love of God in Christ is so attractive, so beautiful, that they cannot help wanting to serve Him. There is a splendour, a beauty, about God and His ways that lures humans beings to Him.
- Gerald McDermott
Don’t assume you have to be extraordinary to be used by God. You don’t have to have exceptional gifts, talents, abilities, or connections. God specializes in using ordinary people whose limitations and weaknesses make them ideal showcases for His greatness and glory (1 Cor. 1:26-29).
- Nancy Leigh DeMoss
Through prayer and meditation on the Word, become willing to let God have all the glory if any good is accomplished by your service. If you desire honour for yourself, the Lord must put you aside as a vessel unfit for the Master’s use. One of the greatest qualifications for usefulness in the service of the Lord is a heart that truly desires to honour Him.
- George Muller
If we give God service it must be because He gives us grace. We work for Him because He works in us.
- C.H. Spurgeon
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.
- Hudson Taylor
A good many are kept out of the service of Christ, deprived of the luxury of working for God, because they are trying to do some great thing. Let us be willing to do little things. And let us remember that nothing is small in which God is the source.
- D.L. Moody
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Colossians 3:17 (KJV)
