SERVICE - GOD'S PART

服事 - 上帝的部分

When God wants a worker he calls a worker.

當上帝要一個工人,祂就會去叫一個工人。

We do the works, but God works in us the doing of the works.

Augustine

我們在做這件事情,但事實上是上帝在我們裡頭動工做這件事情。

God does not need your talents, wisdom, holiness and strength.  But rather you, in weakness, desperately need the power of his Spirit in your labours.

Walter J. Chantry

上帝不需要你的才能、聖潔及能力。上帝要的是軟弱的你,絕望的需要祂的聖靈能力的動工。

God will not thank thee for doing that which he did not set thee about.

William Gurnall

上帝不會為了你做祂沒有叫你做的事情而感謝你。

Our efficiency without God's sufficiency is only a deficiency.

Vance Havner

我們的能力若沒有上帝的充足供應只是貧乏而以。

None are allowed to go for God but those who are sent by him.

Matthew Henry

除了那些上帝差遣的以外,沒有一個人蒙應允為上帝工作。

You never test the resources of God until you attempt the impossible.

F. B. Meyer

你從未嘗試過上帝的資源直到你嘗試不可能的事情。

Divine work must be divinely initiated.

Watchman Nee

上帝的工作必須由祂開始。

God hath work to do in this world; and to desert it because of its difficulties and entanglement is to cast offer his authority.

John Owen

上帝在這世上有事要做;若因著困難及陷入困境而放棄,不啻是丟棄祂的權柄。

Whom God calls he qualifies.

Richard Sibbes

上帝呼召的人,上帝讓他夠資格接受呼召。

Depend upon it - God's work done in God's way will never lack supplies.

J. Hudson Taylor

依靠它 - 照著上帝的方式完成上帝的工作從不缺乏上帝的供應。

All God's giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reckoned on his being with them.

J. Hudson Taylor

所有上帝的偉人都曾是軟弱的人,他們能為上帝作大事是因為他們仰賴上帝的同在。

A master gives his servant work to do, but he cannot give him strength to work; but God, as the cuts us out work, so he gives us strength.

Thomas Watson

一個主人給他的僕人工作做,但未能給僕人工作的能力;可是當上帝分配我們工作,祂也給我們工作的能力。
