Reflect on the following quotes and sayings… You may want to reread through them several times throughout the day.

“The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness
and the world’s deep hunger meet.”[i]
(Frederick Buechner)



“What we are is God’s gift to us.
What we become is our gift to God.”
Louis Nizer


“Most Christians don’t need a call –
they need a kick in the pants!”
(Jim Elliot)




“When a man turns to God desiring to serve Him,
God directs his attention to the world
and its need.”
(Brunner)


“The church is a workshop, not a dormitory;
and every Christian man and woman is bound to help in the common cause.”
(MacLaren)



“There are many of us that are willing to do great things for the Lord,
but few of us are willing to do little things.”
(D. L. Moody)




“What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us.
What we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.”

“It is not the possession of extraordinary gifts
that makes extraordinary usefulness,
but the dedication of what we have to the service of God.”
(Robertson)



"Every Man Gives His Life to What He Believes.
Every Woman Gives Her Life to What She Believes.
Sometimes, People Believe in Little or Nothing,
and Yet They Give Their Lives to that Little or Nothing.
One life is all we have to live,
and we live it as we believe in living it and then it is gone.
But to surrender what you are, and live without belief,
is more terrible than dieing.
Even more terrible than dieing young."
Joan of Arc
