... from Just Give Me Jesus
“When we face an impossible situation, all self-reliance and self-confidence must melt away; we must be totally dependent on Him (Jesus) for the resources.”
“Like Moses, do you respond basically, ‘Here I am , Lord, send Aaron!?’”
“Jesus has given me ample resources to meet the spiritual needs of others because He has given me Himself and He has give me His Word. But in order to meet the spiritual needs of the multitude, I have to spend hours alone with Him in the prayerful meditation of His Word so that my spiritual needs are met.”
“Don’t concentrate on what you lack, concentrate on what you have. Then give all of it to Jesus for His use.”

“There are times I have been afraid to step out and offer Jesus the little bit that I have, because everyone would know I only have a little bit!”
“No one would have even known a miracle had taken place, except that Jesus had lifted up five loaves and two fish in front of everyone when He asked His Father’s blessing.”
“How had He accomplished the miracle? The formula is really quite simple. The disciples gave it all. Jesus took it all. God blessed it all.”
“The wonder is that when I gave it all to Jesus, He accepted it!”
