Thoughts by Watchman Nee
From The Divine Self-Committal in Sit, Walk, Stand

God never ask us to do anything we can do. He asks us to live a life which we can never live and to do a work which we can never do. Yet, by His grace, we are living it and doing it. The life we live is the life of Christ lived in the power of God, and the work we do is the work of Christ carried on through us by His Spirit whom we obey. Self is the only obstruction to that life and to that work. May we pray from our hearts: 'O Lord, deal with me!'
