― Roy Hession, The Calvary Road

“We need to leave our lusting forever larger spheres of Christian service and concentrate on seeing God for ourselves and finding the deep answer for life in Him. Then, even if we are located in the most obscure corner of the globe, the world will make a road to our door to get that answer. Our service of help to our fellows then becomes incidental to our vision of God, and the direct consequence of it.”

It is God's work, not ours, to cause the other to see it. It takes time to be willing to bend "the proud, stiff-necked I."
