I am more and more convinced that what gives a ministry its motivations, perseverance, humility, joy, tenderness, passion, and grace is the devotional life of the one doing ministry. When I daily admit how needy I am, daily mediate on the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and daily feed on the restorative wisdom of his Word, I am propelled to share with others the grace that I am daily reiving at the hands of my Savior.”
Dangerous Calling, p35.
Just one of many deeply challenging and wonderfully helpful sentiments in Dangerous Calling – a must read if you are involved in any kind of Christian ministry.
