Christian Quote by Phillips Brooks
“It is good to come to a future which you do not know. It is good if God brings you to the borders of some promised land. Do not shrink from any experience merely because of its novelty. Do not draw back from any way just because you have never traveled there before. Oh, my friend, go into it today without fear! Only, go into it with god, the God who has been always with you. Remember what He has already done for you, and the new life to which He leads you shall open its best richness to you. For he who most humbly accepts what God already has given him and taught him is surest of the best and deepest blessings which God has yet to give.”
