May these quotes lighten up your week (and, seriously, some might really put things in perspective!)...

 

“I wasn't God's first choice for what I've done for China…I don't know who it was…It must have been a man…a well-educated man. I don't know what  happened. Perhaps he died. Perhaps he wasn't willing…and God looked down…and saw Gladys Aylward…And God said - "Well, she's willing."
           - Gladys Aylward

"Brother, if you would enter that Province, you must go forward on your knees."
           - J. Hudson Taylor

"This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come."

"Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn't."

"Answering a student's question, 'Will the heathen who have not heard the Gospel be saved?' thus, 'It is more a question with me whether we who have the Gospel and fail to give it to those who have not, can be saved.'"
           - C.H. Spurgeon. 

“It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: but it would be a jolly sight harder for a bird to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present and you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go rotten.”    

       ~C.S Lewis

"God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supplies."
J. Hudson Taylor
