True Strength

By D'Aubigne

True Strength.—In the history of the heroes of this world—of such men as Charles XII, or Napoleon—there is always a critical moment, which shapes their career, and insures their future glory. It is that in which a consciousness of their own strength is suddenly imparted to them. And a moment not less decisive than this—though stamped with an impulse altogether different—is to be found in the life of every heroic servant of God; it is that moment in which he first recognizes his absolute helplessness and nothingness; then it is that the strength of God is communicated to him from on high.—D'Aubigne.
