Excerpts from an article written by Aksel Smith for Hidden Treasures 1980. I need to read this again and again and again...
"Every man has enough to do with what God wants him to do and everybody can do what God wants him to do - for he has sufficient time for it - but never a second to waste."
"Never dream about great things, for whatever you might dream about as something great is really nothing. The greatest thing is to carry out God's commandment in the present moment; there is nothing greater."
"Do not blindly stare at the end result that is before your inner eye, for then you will not be able to see the demands of the present moment lying at hand. Fulfill God's will in the present moment., and you will be amazed at the result when God reveals it - for your eye cannot measure God's goal with your life."
"Forget time; forget the past and dream not about the future; enter into the eternal presence before God's face. There is the fullness of time for every work. There God will reveal to you what you are to do at the right time and in the right place. For He knows the right time and the right place. Therefore work in complete harmony with Him."
"He who is hasty is like the one who is too late, because both do their works outside of God's time."
"He who has wholeheartedly chosen Jesus, as Lord does not have time for anything but to do His will. God's grace is sufficient for the smallest details, and through them for the great whole."
