There are thousands willing to do great things for one willing to do a small thing.
More Quotes from George MacDonald:
Sad, indeed, would the whole matter be if the Bible had told us everything God meant us to believe. But herein is the Bible greatly wronged. It nowhere lays claim to be regarded as the Word, the Way, the Truth. The Bible leads us to Jesus, the inexhaustible, the ever-unfolding Revelation of God. It is Christ 'in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge,' not the Bible, save as leading to Him.George MacDonald
Where there is no choice, we do well to make no difficulty.

Many a thief is a better man than many a clergyman, and miles nearer to the gate of the kingdom.
George MacDonald
Do you think that the work God gives us to do is never easy Jesus says that His yoke is easy, His burden is light. People sometimes refuse to do God's work just because it is easy. This is sometimes because they cannot believe that easy work is His work but there may be a very bad pride in it.... Some, again, accept it with half a heart and do it with half a hand. But however easy any work may be, it cannot be well done without taking thought about it. And such people, instead of taking thought about their work, generally take thought about the morrow in which no work can be done, any more than in yesterday.
George MacDonald
I find that doing of the will of God leaves me no time for disputing about His plans.
George MacDonald
People must believe what they can, and those who believe more must not be hard upon those who believe less. I doubt if you would have believed it all yourself if you hadn't seen some of it.
