“A primary qualification for serving God with any amount of success, and for doing God’s work well and triumphantly, is a sense of our own weakness. When God’s warrior marches out to battle, strong in his own might, when he boasts, ‘I know that I will overcome—my own ability and my self-confidence will be enough for victory,’ defeat is staring him in the face. God will not enable the man who marches in his own strength…Are you mourning over your own weakness? Take courage, for there must be a consciousness of weakness before the Lord will give you victory. Your emptiness is but the preparation for your being filled, and you are being humbled to prepare you for being lifted up.”
-Charles Spurgeon
