All There Was Of Me To Have

"Someone asked General Booth the secret of his success, he said, "God has had all there was of me to have! From the day I got the poor of London on my heart, and a vision of what Jesus Christ would do for them, I made up my mind that God would have all there was of William Booth. God has had all the adoration of my heart, all the power of my will, and all the influence of my life.

Luke 17:10 
 "So you also, when you have done all that 
you were commanded, say, ‘We are unworthy servants; 
we have only done what was our duty.’”

Amen, Amen!

"The harvest here is indeed great, and the laborers are few and imperfectly fitted, without much grace, for such a work.  And yet grace can make a few feeble instruments the means of accomplishing great things - things greater even than we can conceive." Hudson Taylor, 1832-1905, China
