It only matters where the pressure lies

"It doesn't matter, really, how great the pressure is," he used to say; "it only matters where the pressure lies. See that it never comes between you and the Lord - then, the greater the pressure, the more it presses you to His breast."
(Taylor, Dr. and Mrs. Howard. "Hudson Taylor's Spiritual Secret." China Inland Mission: Philadelphia. 1935. p107)

I wrote this quote in my bible when I was 16 and have thought of it often. I read Hudson Taylor's Spiritual Secret that year on a missions trip to Tanzania. It was transformational - the trip and the quote. O how true. Thank you for the fond, and profound, reminder.

I'm glad it was an encouragement to you, as it was to me.
