Written by Lilias Trotter (1853-1928), a British artist and protestant missionary to Algeria.
I am seeing more and more that we begin to learn what it is to walk by faith when we learn to spread out all that is against us: all our physical weakness, loss of mental power, spiritual inability—all that is against us inwardly and outwardly—as sails to the wind and expect them to be vehicles for the power of Christ to rest upon us. It is so simple and self-evident—but so long in the learning!
If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness. [2 Corinthians 11:30]
