Rachel
Keller's Biography
Oh
that my words were now written!
Oh
that they were printed in a book!
That
they were graven with an iron pen
and
lead in the rock for ever!
Job
19:23-24
When I stand before
God at the end of my life I would hope that I would not have a
single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything you
gave me."
If you have a
talent, use it in every which way possible. Don't hoard it. Don't
dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly like a millionaire
intent on going broke.

"Prayer is the
greatest power God has put into our hands for service. Praying is
harder work than doing.... Pray that the power of God may rest upon
me, that He may never be disappointed, or find me disobedient of the
heavenly vision when He shows the way."
