Don’t assume you have to be extraordinary to be used by God. You don’t have to have exceptional gifts, talents, abilities, or connections. God specializes in using ordinary people whose limitations and weaknesses make them ideal showcases for His greatness and glory (1 Cor. 1:26-29).

Nancy Leigh DeMoss

Nancy Leigh DeMoss (* 1958) ist eine US-amerikanische Autorin, Radiomoderatorin und Bibellehrerin im konservativ-evangelikalen Raum, die vor allem durch das Mediennetzwerk „Revive Our Hearts“ bekannt wurde. Inhaltlich vertritt sie eine Theologie der Buße, Demut und persönlichen Heiligung sowie ein komplementaristisches Rollen- und Eheverständnis. Bibellesern gilt sie als Vertreterin einer konservativen Schriftauslegung, wobei ihre Seelsorgekonzepte zur Unterordnung in der Ehe von Kritikern wegen unzureichenden Schutzes für Frauen in destruktiven Beziehungen hinterfragt werden.

Fits of depression come over the most of us. Usually cheerful as we may be, we must at intervals be cast down. The strong are not always vigorous, the wise not always ready, the brave not always courageous, and the joyous not always happy.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon

I am certain that I never did grow in grace one-half so much anywhere as I have upon the bed of pain.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon

I am so weak. I can’t read my Bible. I can’t even pray. I can only lie still in God’s arms like a little child and trust.

Hudson Taylor

The bow cannot be always bent without fear of breaking. Repose is as needful to the mind as sleep to the body… Rest time is not waste time. It is economy to gather fresh strength.
