All I could think of was what a privilege it was to give my life away for love's sake.
Suffering is seeing what Jesus sees, and joy is doing what Jesus does.
You are God's dream with skin on
Love looks like something.
The abundance of fruit comes out of intimacy with the Lord.
If you are called as a missionary—a “sent-out one”—then you are called to comfort those who mourn. You are called to love the broken until they understand God’s love—a love that never dies—through you.
The only currency that will heal every culture is ceaseless love. To be a minister, we must walk like Jesus, talk like Jesus, and be like Jesus for a broken and dying world.
As our hearts become pure, our vision becomes clearer.
God told me once, 'I want you to come up to the lowest place.'
Ministry is simply about loving the person in front of you.
I don't want to grow up, I want to grow down
There is always enough because I died for you.
But Jesus always leaves the ninety-nine to chase after the one. He always searches for the one lost coin.
I believe that Jesus would have given His life for just one person. Jesus emptied Himself, He humbled Himself and He so yielded Himself to His Father's love that He had no ambition of His own. He was not looking to build an empire, He did not want praise or adulation or to impress people with who or how many followed Him. He stopped over and over again for just one person, for just one life.
Union and Communion: this is the essence of Christianity.
If God is not with us, we do not want to continue. If the Sermon on the Mount is simply impractical, our mission work is hopeless. We have no backup plan. We have nothing but Him.
Why go to the ends of the earth if you have nothing to give?
Just love the one in front of you. Take in the orphan, take in the widow. Just love the one in front of you.
Ministry is being one of theses sent out ones, a labourer of love.
If ministry is not about compassion and passion, let it die.
The poor know they are in need.
