Quote of the week

"I have personally never ceased to rejoice that God has entrusted me with His service. People talk of the sacrifice I made in spending so much of my life in Africa. Can that be called sacrifice which is simply paid back as a small part of the great debt owing to our God, which we can never repay?  Is that a sacrifice which brings its own reward of healthful activity, the consciousness of doing good, peace of mind, and bright hope of a glorious destiny hereafter? …away with such a word, such a view, and such a thought!  It is emphatically no sacrifice.  Say rather it is a privilege.  Anxiety, sickness, suffering, or danger now and then, with a foregoing of the common conveniences and charities of this life, may make us pause and cause the spirit to wave and sink; but let this only be for a moment.  All these things are nothing compared with the glory which shall hereafter be revealed in us and for us." —David Livingstone
