When I saw Sadhu Sundar Singh in Europe, he had completed a tour around the world. People asked him, doesn’t it do harm, you’re getting so much honor?"
The Sadhu's answer was: "No. The donkey went into Jerusalem, and they put garments on the ground before him. He was not proud. He knew it was not done to honor him, but for Jesus, who was sitting on his back. When people honor me, I know it is not me, but the Lord, who does the job." - Corrie Ten Boom.
“God is not looking for extraordinary characters as His instruments, but He is looking for humble instruments through whom He can be honored throughout the ages.” - A.B. Simpson.
1Ti 1:17 (CEV): “I pray that honor and glory will always be given to the only God, who lives forever and is the invisible and eternal King! Amen.”
“If I had only one sermon to preach it would be a sermon against pride.” - G.K. Chesterton.
