“You have perhaps waited for years to be freed from some need. For a long, long time you have looked out from the darkness in search of the light, and have had a difficult problem in life that you have not been able to solve in spite of great efforts. And then, when the time was fulfilled and God's hour had come, did not a solution, light, and deliverance come quite unexpectedly, perhaps quite differently than you thought?” NeedsYearsLongProblemLightAbleDifficultHoursEffortDarknessLong TimeSolutionsSolveSpiteFulfilledDeliveranceProblems In LifeGreat EffortDifficult Problems Author:Eberhard Arnold
“Our gifts seem so small in comparison to God’s. But our efforts count, even though like Simeon we only stretch out our arms in the patience of faith so that we may receive the Holy Gift. Even though we only wait, poor and yearning in the darkness, in fervent longing for the proclamation, we are ready, and may help bring about the fullness of time.” MayHelpingSeemsWaitingPoorEffortDarknessReadyArmsHolyLongingComparisonYearningFullnessProclamationFervent Author:Eberhard Arnold
