Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that
     needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of
     truth.

     — 2 Timothy 2:15

If you cannot express yourself on any subject, struggle until you
can. If you do not, someone will be the poorer all the, days of his
life. Struggle to re-express some truth of God to your self, and God
will use that expression to some one else. Go through the winepress
of God where the grapes are crushed. You must struggle to get
expression experimentally, then there will come a time when that
expression will become the very wine of strengthening to someone
else; but if you say lazily – “I am not going to struggle to express
this thing for myself, I will borrow what I say,” the expression will
not only be of no use to you, but of no use to anyone. Try to state
to yourself what you feel implicitly to be God’s truth, and you give
God a chance to pass it on to someone else through you.

Always make a practice of provoking your own mind to think out what
it accepts easily. Our position is not ours until we make it ours by
suffering. The author who benefits you most is not the one who tells
you something you did not know before, but the one who gives
expression to the truth that has been dumbly struggling in you for
utterance.
