Forget Self in the Service of Christ
Be not ambitious for the first place. Take that which is vacant, wherever it may happen to be. Do that which needs to be done, and which you can do, and when that is finished something greater will be waiting for you. Never mind yourself. The first grand thing in the service of Christ is to forget self. If you want to show how well you can speak, or how admirably you can organize, or how magnificently you can administer, there is no room for you yet among Christ’s followers. But if you wish above all other things to honor him, and are content to do anything for him, then you are already in the ranks, nay, you are already among the great ones there.
