Hudson Taylor and the Shepherd of His Soul

In a letter to his children, Hudson Taylor wrote:

"I wish you, my precious children, knew what it was to give your hearts to Jesus to keep everyday. I used to try to keep my own heart right, but it would always be going wrong. So at last I had to give up trying myself, and to accept the Lord's offer to keep it for me. Don't you think that is the best way?"

-Hudson Taylor's Spiritual Secret, page 178

For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. (1 Peter 2:25)
