Heroes of the Faith

November 2023

Here are some favourite quotes, from some personal heroes of mine, some more recent, and some for over 10 years.

 

Kathryn Kuhlman

“Wherever you find real love, you will also find humility. Remember something: humility is not a weak and timid quality. Too often we feel that humility is a sign of weakness. This is not so. It is the sign of strength and security.”

“Great sea captains are made in rough waters and deep seas.”

Corrie Ten Boom

“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”

“He knows, He loves, He cares;

Nothing this truth can dim.
He gives the very best to those
Who leave the choice to Him.”

Elisabeth Elliot

“It is on God that we should wait, as a waiter waits – not for but on the customer – alert, watchful, attentive, with no agenda of his own, ready to do whatever is wanted. ‘My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.’ (Ps. 62:5 KJV) In Him alone lie our security, our confidence, our trust. A spirit of restlessness and resistance can never wait, but one who believes he is loved with an everlasting love, and knows that underneath are the everlasting arms, will find strength and peace.”

“The willingness to be and to have just what God wants us to be and have, nothing more, nothing less, and nothing else, would set our hearts at rest, and we would discover the simpler life, the greater peace.”
