"This is the message of the Bible, that God has chosen the weak and the base, the nothing and the things that are not to confound the things that are. All God demands of a man is his availability--to be what man was created to be, the human vehicle of the divine life, inhabited by God for God. That God may be Himself--His size in terms of what you are on earth, in your availability to Him. What you are is totally irrelevant--nationality-wise, money-wise, education-wise, personality-wise, and any other wise, if only you will recognize the principle that it is God that works in you, to will and to do His good pleasure. The only ultimate source of divine activity in all spiritual life is God Himself--'Christ in you the hope of glory' (Col. 1: 27c)."
*The Saving Life of Christ, by Major W. Ian Thomas, p 66-67

Lorraine let us borrow her copy of that book... I'm looking forward to reading it in the New Year. Thanks for sharing a tidbit to whet my appetite!
I have several other quotes scattered through my blog from this book! I hope you enjoy it!
I like the phrase..."A Look in a Book." Catchy.
Thanks, Katherine! So sweet of you! It wasn't my idea though so I can't take credit!! :-)
