Anon.
When sorrows assail us or terrors draw nigh,
His love will not fail us, He'll guide with His eye.
And when we ar fainting and ready to fail,
He'll give what is lacking and make us prevail.
Amy Carmichael - Missionary to India
"Sometimes when we read the words of those who have been more than conquerors, we feel almost despondent. I feel that I shall never be like that. But [then I remember that] they won through step by step: by little bits of will; little denials of self; little inward victories; by faithfulness in very little things. They became what they are. No one sees these little hidden steps. They only see the accomplishment, but even so those small steps were taken. There is no sudden triumph, no sudden spiritual maturity. That is the work of the moment."
