Wisdom of the Ages

Hudson Taylor

“In 1866, Hudson Taylor and his family were about to leave England and head back to China for fresh labor. Some said it was foolish business. “I am taking my children with me,” was Mr. Taylor’s reply, “and I notice that it is not difficult for me to remember that the little ones need breakfast in the morning, dinner at midday, and something before they go to bed at night. Indeed, I could not forget it. And I find it impossible to suppose that our heavenly Father is less tender or mindful than I.”
– Hudson Taylor

“As for God, his way is perfect. The word of the LORD is pure. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.”
– 2 Samuel 22:31
