YOUR MISSION IS NOT ABOUT YOU
"Jesus said, 'You are the salt of the earth.' But salt does not exist for itself. When is the last time you went to someone's home for a meal and said, 'Man, this is great salt. Honey, how come we don't have salt like this at home? We gotta switch brands.' Salt's calling is to lose itself in something much bigger and more glorious; and then it fulfills its destiny. We were made to count. We were made to be salt. But the quest for significance is a delicate dance. If I do it by myself for myself, it's death. If I do it with God for others, it's life."
- John Ortberg, When the Game Is Over It All Goes Back in the Box
