my inspiration to mission

"Granny Brand was more alive than any person he had ever met. By giving away life she found it. Pain she knew well. But pain need not destroy. It can be transformed."

"I have watched these rare individuals (Albert Schweitzer, Mother Teresa, disciples of Ghandi..) in action; any thought of personal sacrifice fades away. I find myself envying not pitying them. In the process of giving away life they find it, and achieve a level of contentment and peace virtually unknown to the rest of the world."

From "the gift nobody wants"
