“God willing, I will push and politick no more … the mountains are too high, history is too long and eternity is longer. God is too great, man is too small, there are many of God’s dear children, and all around there are men (& women) going to Hell. And if one man and a small group of men do not approve of where I am and what I do, does it prove I’ve missed success? No; only one thing will determine that — whether this day I’m where the Lord of lords and King of Kings wants me to be.”
