Exerpt from "How to Worship Jesus Christ"
This book by Joeseph Carroll is great – I highly recommend reading it!
D.L Moody
What was the key to the life of D.L. Moody? He once heard a man say, “The world has yet to see what God can do through a man wholly surrendered to Him.”
D.L. Moody said, “By the grace of God, I will be that man.”
We all know how God used D.L Moody. Was it because he was brilliant, because he was gifted, because he was educated, because he was a man of essentially superlative gifts? No, he was a man with a perfect heart who proved the truth of 2 Chronicles 16:9: “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to [show] himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.”
It is not what we can do for God; it is what God will do for us and through us when we have a perfect heart. He is waiting for such men; He is waiting for such women; and when God finds such a man or such a woman, He will show Himself strong in their behalf. We must never forget that it is not what we can do for God; it is what He waits to do for us and through us that glorifies Him. We must perfect our hearts. There must be that altar in our lives upon which we glorify him.

D.L Moody hopefully wasn’t forgetting about the man Jesus Christ when he made that statement
