Brooks: becoming spiritual

Commemoration of Ini Kopuria, Founder of the Melanesian Brotherhood, 1945
Meditation:
[Jesus:] “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”
—John 14:12 (KJV)

Quotation:
We never become truly spiritual by sitting down and wishing to become so. You must undertake something so great that you cannot accomplish it unaided.
... Phillips Brooks (1835-1893), Life and letters of Phillips Brooks, v. III, Alexander V. G. Allen, New York: E. P. Dutton, 1901, p. 502 (see the book)
See also John 14:12-14; Matt. 21:21-22; Acts 4:9-12; 14:8-15

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, I cannot attain what I have undertaken. I pray that you send Your Spirit with power to remove all obstacles and fulfill Your will for me.
