quote from Catherine Booth

"I am tired of hearing the words 'I can't'.
Jeremiah said,
'I am a child';
but the Lord didn't pat him on the back and say,
Jeremiah,
that is very good,
I like that in you;
your humility is beautiful.'
Oh no!
God didn't want any such mock humility.
He reproved and rebuked it.
I do not like the humility that is too humble to do as it is bid.
When my children are too humble to do as they are bid,
I pretty soon find a way to make them.
I say,
'Go and do it!'
The Lord wants us to 'go and do it'."
