But men like David Livingstone and Stanley, Hudson Taylor of China, William Carey of India these are the unforgettable heroes. If you wish everlasting fame, glory, and honor, the best way to get it is in the service of God. He left heaven and the throne of God because people mattered more to Him than anything else. That was their fame. If the people around us are no better for our having lived, for our influence, then they are poorer for our having been here.
Every worthwhile life is one of unselfish service, of inspiration to others.
God made every living thing in the world that way. The trees, the blossoms, the flowers, add sweetness to life. Live to love and to serve. You shall find every day happier than you can imagine.
