Woman of Faith
Mary Slessor
"Prayer is the greatest power God has put into our hands for service — praying is harder than doing, at least I find it so, but the dynamic lies that way to advance the Kingdom."
Lottie Moon
"How many there are ... who imagine that because Jesus paid it all, they need pay nothing, forgetting that the prime object of their salvation was that they should follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ in bringing back a lost world to God."
Christina Rossetti
"What can I give Him, / Poor as I am? — / If I were a Shepherd / I would bring a lamb; / If I were a Wise Man / I would do my part, — / Yet what I can I give Him, — / Give my heart.”
Fanny Crosby
"All the way my Savior leads me, Cheers each winding path I tread; Gives me grace for every trial, Feeds me with the living Bread. Though my weary steps may falter, And my soul athirst may be, Gushing from the Rock before me, Lo! A spring of joy I see..."
Florence Nightingale
"People talk about imitating Christ, and imitate Him in the little trifling formal things... but if anyone attempts the real imitation of Him, there are no bounds to the outcry with which the presumption of that person is condemned."
Harriet Tubman
"God’s time is always near. He set the North Star in the heavens; He gave me the strength in my limbs; He meant I should be free."
Sojourner Truth
"But I believe in the next world. When we get up yonder, we shall have all them rights 'stored to us again."
Anne Bradstreet
"This City pure is not for thee, / For things unclean there shall not be. / If I of Heav'n may have my fill, / Take thou the world, and all that will."
Joan of Arc
"If I am not in the state of grace, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me."
Hildegard of Bingen
"May the Holy Spirit enkindle you with the fire of His Love so that you may persevere, unfailingly, in the love of His service. Thus you may merit to become, at last, a living stone in the celestial Jerusalem."
