"'Am I ministering out of my need or out of the overflow of my own relationship with God?' ... Do [I] crave the affirmation of those [I] serve, and do they help [me] feel important? Or do [I] serve because Jesus has so filled [my heart] that [I] must find a place to pour the overflow?" (232)

Isaiah 58:13-14

"If you turn away your foot from [traveling unduly on] the Sabbath, from doing your own pleasure on My holy day, and call the Sabbath a [spiritual] delight, the holy day of the LORD honorable, and honor Him and it, not going your own way or seeking or finding your own pleasure or speaking with your own [idle] words, Then will you delight yourself in the LORD, and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth, and I will feed you with the heritage [promised for you] of Jacob your father; for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it."
