Quote for the Day

"We make the mistake of imagining that service for others springs from love of others; the fundamental fact is that supreme love for our Lord alone gives us the motive power of service to any extent for others- `ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.' That means I have to identify myself with God's interests in other people, and God is interested in some extraordinary people, viz., in you and in me, and He is just as interested in the person you dislike as He is in you." -- Oswald Chambers in "Conformed To His Image," p. 90 of "My Utmost for His Highest".
