Quotemeal: Jan. 27th, 1966

Thursday, January 27, 1966

"The Christian life isn't difficult — it is impossible. If we don't know that, we will try to do things ourselves. Faith is not necessary when we think we can do it ourselves. Faith comes along when we realize that we cannot do it on our own."
— Joseph Garlingen
