“Sometimes children of God are fearful of growing old and being unable to work any longer. If I point out to them how their heavenly Father has always helped those who put their trust in Him, they might not say that times have changed. But it is evident that they do not see God as the living God. [So I started the orphanage because] I longed to set something before the children of God that they might see that He does not forsake, even in hard times, those who rely on Him.”
George Mueller (1805-1898) in The Autobiography of George Mueller (New Kensington, PA: Whitaker House, 1984) 72.
