This is a marvelous quote from a book I loved by Robert E. Speer called, "The Marks of a Man."
We exalt the framework above the inward principle, and think that one man's mission and service are nobler than another man's because the setting of his life is more notable or glorious; but God has, of course, His own purpose for each life and man's estimate of the comparative attractiveness of different forms is of no relevancy. The one essential thing is to find God's dominant desire for us and to subject our lives and all their ways to that. Whether one man or another man is assigned a particular work is of no consequence. The vital thing is that each man realize that his life is an assignment of God, whatever the assignment may be. So the work is done, the service rendered, what matter is it who has the name and the fame of it, if only we did cleanly the part which God gave us to do?
