Candle in the Darkness (Refiners Fire #1)

by Lynn Austin

"That's what I about to tell you. Massa Jesus same way. This is His world. You and Josiah and Grady be His children. Anything I can't fix, I take to Jesus. Then I don't have to worry no more. Massa Jesus take care of it in His own time, His own way."

"Ain't no secret at all. It's right there in the Bible-you give your life to Massa Jesus. You stop trying to control everything and to figure everything out, and you let Him do all the figuring. That way, if it's God's will I be set free tomorrow, then I be set free.

The devil wants us to be like himself-telling lies and hating people. Jesus wants us to be like He is-loving our enemies and praying for them. Who you gonna be like?"

"Every day a servant goes to his massa and finds out what he supposed to do that day. If a servant is in the middle of something and Massa calls his name, he don't say 'just a minute'-he drop whatever he doing and he run to stand before the massa and he say, `Here I am.' Every morning we need to ask the Lord, `This where you want me today? This what you want me to do?' If it is, then that's where you have to be, and that's what you have to do."
