If God try our faith it is to show His faithfulness, and we shall lose the blessing by appeals etc. (James Hudson Taylor)
Many there are who fail to see that there can be but one lord, and that those who do not make GOD Lord of all do not make Him Lord at all.
James Hudson Taylor
I could not think that GOD was poor, that He was short of resources, or unwilling to supply any want of whatever work was really His. It seemed to me that if there were lack of funds to carry on work, then to that degree, in that special development, or at that time, it could not be the work of GOD.
James Hudson Taylor
For our Master's sake, may He make us willing to do or suffer all His will.
James Hudson Taylor
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.
James Hudson Taylor
The highest service demands the greatest sacrifice, but it secures the fullest blessing and the greatest fruitfulness.
James Hudson Taylor
The vine... is not the root merely, but all - root, stem, branches, twigs, leaves, flowers, fruit: and Jesus is not only that: He is soil and sunshine, air and showers, and ten thousand times more than we ever dreamed, wished for, or needed.
James Hudson Taylor
Argument almost always leaves behind a sore feeling in the heart of the one who has been worsted. By loving teaching, by Christ-like living, we are to win this people for our Lord. They do not understand what disinterested love and unselfishness mean: you are to go and live it amont them.
James Hudson Taylor
Nearness to GOD calls for tenderness of conscience, thoughtfulness in service, and implicit obedience.
James Hudson Taylor
I besought Him to give me some work for Him, as an outlet for love and gratitude; some self-denying service, no matter what it might be, however trying or however trivial.
James Hudson Taylor
I have never passed a more anxious or trying month in my life, but I never felt God so present with me. (James Hudson Taylor)
I so want you to realise this principle of working with God and asking Him for everything. If the work is at the command of God, then we can go to Him in full confidence for workers; and when God gives the workers, we can go to Him for means to supply their needs.
James Hudson Taylor
I wish sometimes that I had twenty bodies, that at twenty places at once I might publish the saving name of Jesus.
James Hudson Taylor
With GOD all things are possible, and no conviction ever takes place save by the almighty power of the HOLY GHOST. The great need, therefore, of every Christian worker is to know GOD.
James Hudson Taylor
Some are jealous of being successors of the Apostles. I would rather be a successor of the Samaritan woman, who, while the Apostles went for meat and forgot souls, forgot her water pot in her zeal to spread the good tidings.
James Hudson Taylor
Work is the outcome of effort; fruit, of life.
James Hudson Taylor
Real trust in God cannot be confounded.
James Hudson Taylor
What I have to watch against is impatience at waiting His time.
James Hudson Taylor
But God makes no mistakes; according to their service He divides the help, and those who are called to the holiest service are those who can have least assistance.
James Hudson Taylor
If there was more true abiding in Christ, there would be less selfish abiding at home.
James Hudson Taylor
The missionaries should be men of apostolic zeal, patience, endurance, willing to be all things to all men. May the Lord raise up suitable instruments, and fit me for this work. (James Hudson Taylor)
If you want blessing, make room for it.
James Hudson Taylor
My work is a very peculiar [unique] one; in many respects it has, and can have no precedent. It may be called an experiment; to a certain extent it is so. And by God's help it shall be, as it is being, faithfully made.
James Hudson Taylor
You are not sent to preach death and sin and judgment, but life and holiness and salvation – not to be a witness against the people, but to be a witness for God – to preach the good news – Christ Himself.
James Hudson Taylor
To know and to do His will – this is our safety; this is our rest.
