Wishful thinking

We are often wishing that God would do some great thing in the world, and we look abroad for instruments which we think would be peculiarly fit, and think of places where the work might suitably begin; it might be quite as well if we asked the Lord to make use of us, and if we were believingly to hope that even our feeble instrumentality might poduce great results . . . Our Lord can make your dwelling the center of mercy for the whole region, a little sun sacttering light in all directions, a spiritual dispensary distributing health to the multitudes around.
Charles Spurgeon
