「要作大丈夫，要剛強。」－哥林多前書16:13
不要祈求一個與你能力相符的工作，而要祈求一個和你工作相符的能力。
這樣，你所行的雖算不得神蹟，但你自己卻成了最大的神蹟。
－布洛克斯
請記得，一個放縱、沈溺的基督徒生活絕不能帶領我們進入偉大。
安逸的生活只會扯我們的後腿，使我們無力向上。神永遠在我們頭頂之上，因此我們需要時時向上仰臉。
許多人一生都在逃避需要付上代價、否認自己、約束自己，與犧牲自己的事；他們從來不曾領會，勞頓辛勤是引領我們走向尊貴的獨一之路。
偉大與不凡不會來自鬆軟草皮舖成的小徑，而是來自一條需要你親手披荊斬棘的道路。
你想登上山峰，瞧瞧山頂風光嗎？

"Quit you like men, be strong" (1 Cor. 16:13).Do not pray for easy lives! Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be a miracle. --Phillips Brooks.
We must remember that it is not in any easy or self-indulgent life that Christ will lead us to greatness. The easy life leads not upward, but downward. Heaven always is above us, and we must ever be looking up toward it. There are some people who always avoid things that are costly, that require self-denial, or self-restraint and sacrifice, but toil and hardship show us the only way to nobleness. Greatness comes not by having a mossy path made for you through the meadow, but by being sent to hew out a roadway by your own hands. Are you going to reach the mountain splendors? --Selected.
