Robert E. Speer, part 2
Here are some quotes from Mr. Speer on the subject on service. I love what he has to say on this subject:
A man is here not to be
ministered unto but to minister.
True life is not lived
where great external changes take place, where people move about, clash, fight,
and slay one another; but it is lived only where these tiny, infinitesimally
small changes occur. In other words,
each quiet man and woman who is going about using life to help other lives is
living the great life and wielding the great power.
Whatever we do in life we
do for eternity. All the soul a man lays
out on other souls is work done forever.
No man is living a life
worth living unless he is willing, if need be, to
die for somebody or
something. Indeed, all true living is a
dying, a
passing out of a man’s life from him daily into the lives of others.
As Christian men and women
how are we doing our daily work?
Are we
doing it as Christ did His, pressed down, good measure,
running over, with a
margin, or skimped and niggardly,
hugging the edge of the task?
(From the book The Marks of a Man, by Robert E. Speer)
