LOOKING UNTO JESUS
to go forth from ourselves and to forget ourselves; so that our darkness may flee away before the brightness of His Face; so that our joys may be holy, and our sorrow restrained; that He may cast us down and that He may raise us up; that He may afflict us, and that He may comfort us; that He may despoil us, and that He may enrich us; that He may teach us to pray, and that he may answer our prayers; that while leaving us in the world, He may separate us from it, our life being hidden with him in God, and our behavior bearing witness to Him before men.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
Hebrews 12:2
