|  God gave you not a spirit of faithlessness, not a spirit of despair. | | Try to help others. Consult their weaknesses, relieve their maladies; strive to raise them up, and by so doing you will most effectually raise yourself up also. | | The success and the failure are not my concern, but His. | | This fear of the Lord is indeed the beginning of wisdom. This consciousness of sin is the straight pathway to heaven. | | Yes, God is the end of your work, but He is the beginning also. | | Not only must the message be correctly delivered, but the messenger himself must be such as to recommend it to acceptance. | | So then, when I speak to you, I speak to myself. If I seem to warn or to rebuke you, it is not so much you, as myself, to whom the warning or the rebuke is addressed. | | God is the last link of the chain, but He is the first also. | | If you are apostles at all, you are apostles, not of men, nor by man. Your sufficiency is of God. | | God did not give you the spirit of cowardice. |
