The less I spent on myself and the more I gave to others, the fuller of happiness and blessing did my soul become.
Truly Jesus is the great need of our souls.
Perhaps if there were more of that intense distress for souls that leads to tears, we should more frequently see the results we desire. Sometimes it may be that while we are complaining of the hardness of the hearts of those we are seeking to benefit, the hardness of our own hearts and our feeble apprehension of the solemn reality of eternal things may be the true cause of our want of success.
Nothing can take the place of a real hunger for souls, or make up for the lack of it.
