Some Thoughts Written in Mary Slessor’s Bible
God is never behind time.
If you play with temptation do not expect God will deliver you. A gracious woman has gracious friendships. No gift or genius or position can keep us safe or free from sin. We must see and know Christ before we can teach. Good is good, but it is not enough; it must be God. The secret of all failure is disobedience. Sin is loss for time and eternity. The smallest things are as absolutely necessary as the great things. An arm of flesh never brings power. Half the world’s sorrow comes from the unwisdom of parents. Obedience brings health. Blessed the man and woman who is able to serve cheerfully in the second rank — a big test. Slavery never pays; the slave is spoiled as a man, and the master not less so. It were worth while to die, if thereby a soul could be born again. |
