Title: Watchman Nee Quotes part 2 View count: 2282 Rating: 5.0 (10 ratings) Description: Let me love and not be respected; Let me serve and not be rewarded; Let me labor and not be remembered; Let me suffer and not be regarded 'Tis the pouring not the drinking; Tis the breaking, not the keeping — A life suffering to seek others' blessing, A life loving and true comfort giving Not expecting pity and concern, Not accepting solace and applause; Even lonely, even forgotten, Even wordless, even forsaken. Tears and blood my price for the righteous crown shall be; Losing all, my cost for a faithful pilgrim's life. 'Tis the life, O Lord, that You chose to live In those days when on earth You walked, Gladly suffering all injuries and loss So that all might draw near and repose. I cannot see how much farther I shall go; Still I press on knowing there is no return. Let me follow Your pattern so perfect and true, Bearing ingratitudes without complaint. In this time of trial, O Lord, I pray That You'll wipe all my hidden tears away; Let me learn, O Lord, You are my reward, Let me be others' blessing all my days. -Watchman Nee, 1930 Tags: watchman, nee, normal, christian, life, Author: NormalChristianLife |
