01.06.10


(from William Carey on his 70th birthday, to one of his sons)

I am this day seventy years old, a monument of Divine mercy and goodness, though on a review of my life I find much, very much, for which I ought to be humbled in the dust; my direct and positive sins are innumerable, my negligence in the Lord's work has been great. I have not promoted his cause, nor sought his glory and honour as I ought, notwithstanding all this, I am spared till now, and am still retained in his Work, and I trust I am received into the divine favour through him.

2 Corinthians 5:15
"and He died for all,
so that they who live
might no longer live for themselves,
but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf."

2 Corinthians 5:14
"For the love of Christ compels us..."


"Nothing in my hands I bring, simply to the cross I cling."
