I wasn’t God’s first choice for what I’ve done in China…I don’t know who it was…it must have been a man…a well-educated man. I don’t know what happened. Perhaps he died. Perhaps he wasn’t willing…and God looked down…and saw Gladys Aylward…and God said, ‘Well, she’s willing.’

Excellent quote Cindy! How many of us are “willing” to serve Him out of our meagre lives? This lady was a great inspiration to me as a young Christian.

It’s just like the Lord to use the weak to confound the strong, the small to do great things, the uneducated to teach us all.
