Learn these two things: Never be discouraged because good things get on so slowly here, and never fail daily to do that good which lies next to your hand. Do not be in a hurry, but be diligent. Enter into the sublime patience of the Lord. Be charitable in view of it. God can afford to wait; why can not we — since we have Him to fall back upon? Let patience have her perfect work and bring forth her celestial fruits. Trust to God to weave your little thread into a web, though the patterns show it not yet. — GEORGE MACDONALD.
His Doing and Ours
And yet the doing is ours — not His. He inspired it; we wrought it out. He quickened, but we brought forth; His the heart-beat, but ours the hand-stroke; His the influence, ours the effluence. — GEORGE C. LORIMER.
