"To him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon because he hath wholly followed the Lord"(Deut.1:36)

Every hard duty that lies in your path, that you would rather not do, that it will cost you pain and struggle or sore effort to do, has a blessing in it. Not to do it, at whatever cost, is to miss the blessing.

Every hard piece of road on which you see the Master's shoe-prints and along which He bids you follow Him, surely leads to blessing, which you cannot get if you cannot go over the steep, thorny path.

Every point of battle to which you come, where you must draw your sword and fight the enemy, has a possible victory which will prove a rich blessing to your life. Every heavy load that you are called to lift hides in itself some strange secret of strength. ━J. R. Miller

"I cannot do it alone;

The waves run fast and high,

And the fogs close all around,

The light goes out in the sky;

But I know that we two

Shall win in the end,

Jesus and I."

"Coward and wayward and weak,

I change with the changing sky;

Today so eager and bright,

Tomorrow too weak to try;

But He never gives in,

So we two shall win,

Jesus and I."

"I could not guide it myself,

My boat on life's wild sea;

There's One who sits by my side,

Who pulls and steers with me.

And I know that we two,

Shall safe enter port,

Jesus and I."

「我要将他所踏过的地赐给他......因为他专心跟从我。」 （申一:36）

信徒啊，在你所走的道路上，你是不是常遇见困难的事、不愿意的事、痛苦的事呢？在每一件这样的事里面，都藏着一个极大的祝福。你如果不肯出任何代价去做的话，你就会失去顶宝贵的祝福。

每一条有主足迹的道路，无论如何艰险，你必须跟着去行，因为那是带领你进入祝福的；如果你不能走那样险阻的荆棘道路，你就不要想得到祝福。

路上每一个战争，你都有获胜的可能；这样的胜利，对于你的灵命是极大的祝福。每一个要你负荷的重担，其中都隐藏着神的能力。━密勒

我不能单独航行,

波浪如此暴戾,

四周浓雾重重,

天空一片昏暗；

但我知道我们俩人,

耶稣和我终会胜利。

懦弱、胆怯、犹豫不定,

我心随着莫测的天空在摇曳；

今天这样热心和高兴,

明天却衰弱得毫无勇气；

但祂从不掘服退缩,

耶稣和我终会胜利。

我自己不会驾驶我的船,

渡过这人生的大海,

有一位坐在我身边,

同我一起掌舵和划浆。

我知道我们俩人,

耶稣和我将安全进港。
