So Send I You

“The words of Jesus to the scribe knock the heart out of self-consciousness in service for Jesus, serving Jesus because it pleases one’s self. Jesus told him that if he followed Him he would be homeless and possessionless. Do you expect to be a successful worker for Jesus if you are a disciple of His? Then you are doomed to a discouraging disappointment. Our Lord never called us to successful service; He calls us to present Him: ‘I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me.’ God saves men; we are sent out to present Jesus Christ and His Cross, and to disciple the souls He saves. The reason we do not make disciples is that we are not disciples ourselves, we are out for our own ends.” (source)

“The one thing for which we are all being disciplined is to know that God is real. As soon as God becomes real, other people become shadows. Nothing that other saints do or say can ever perturb the one who is built on the real God. ‘In all the world, my God, there is none but thee, there is none but thee.’” (source)

“Very few of us hear the call of God because we are not in the place to answer; the call does not communicate because we have not the nature of the One Who is calling.” (source)

“There is so much self-chosen service; we say—‘I think I will do this, and that for God.’ Unless we work for God in accordance with His supernatural call, we shall meet havoc and disaster and upset. The moment that the consciousness of the call of God dawns on us, we know that it is not a choice of our own at all; the consciousness is that of being held by a power we do not fully know.” (source)
