Christianity Quote by L. E. Maxwell
““If only the Saviour had asked me to do something else! But that something else would not have reached your heart. You could have done that other thing without faith and without grace; yes, without even being right with God. So, in asking you to do the one impossible thing, Christ crosses your will through your withered limb (Crowded to Christ, p. 178).””
