Blessed beyond measure by this example of faith and God's steadfast providence.
Okay, first I think that it is amazing how God worked through George Mueller, and I read 33% of the book. It really is pretty much his diary, and there are some good things that I read so far. But mostly it would talk about his need, he prayed, God answered with yea-many pounds, shillings, or halfpence, and by 33% of the way through I just couldn't handle it anymore. But, it does challenge me in my faith to trust God and not myself.
This is one of my favorite books! I love the concept of ministries refraining from pleading for funds and yet I do understand this life of "faith" may have a special calling attached to it. George Muller gives a depth of insight few ever experience as he provided for thousands of Orphans each day for decades without asking for one penny to do so.
So far this man amazes me with his faith that some would say borders on stupidity. Yet time and time again the Lord reveals his faithfulness to this man of God. Amazing and humbling to read. Sad in some parts but a very interesting read even if you are not a christian.

“The Christian should never worry about tomorrow or give sparingly because of a possible future need. Only the present moment is ours to serve the Lord, and tomorrow may never come...Life is worth as much as it is spent for the Lord's service.”

“A brother with small earnings may ask,''Should I also give? My earning are already so small that my family can barely make ends meet.'' My reply is, ''Have you ever considered that the very reason your earnings remain so small may be because you spend everything on yourself? If God gave you more, you would only use it to increase your own comfort instead of looking to see who is sick or who has no work at all that you might help them.”
