Hudson Taylor

I recently read OMF's publication of Hudson Taylor's autobiography. What a blessing and encouragement it was for me to read! I want to read more about his life... such a man of faith!

Some quotes that really grabbed my attention:

God often leads his people into difficulties on purpose, so they'll get to know him in a way they couldn't know him otherwise.

When we do Christian work, what counts is to keep looking at God. God's work isn't so much about what man does for God. It's about what God does through man.

...even so, we shouldn't forget the most important thing, which is obeying God and glorifying his name. And making our Father's heart happy by living and working as though we are well-loved children.

When the soul struggles with sin, then gets tired and disappointed, the calm rest that comes from trusting in the Shepherd of Israel is so sweet.
