A Quiet Time with George Müller

The point is this: I saw more clearly than ever that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not how much I might serve the Lord how I might glorify the Lord; but how I might get my soul into a happy state and how my inner man might be nourished. For I might seek to set the truth before the unconverted I might seek to benefit believers I might seek to relieve the distressed I might in other ways seek to behave myself as it becomes a child of God in this world; and yet not being happy in the Lord and not being nourished and strengthened in my inner man day by day all this might not be attended to in a right spirit. ~ George Müller
