William Carey, who is called the ‘Father of Modern Missions,’ served the Lord in India for many years. He gradually became very concerned about the attitude of his son, Felix.
The young man had promised to become a missionary, but he
reneged on his vows when he was appointed ambassador to Burma by the Queen of
England.
Carey wrote to his friend, asking prayer for his son with
these words:
“Pray for Felix. He has degenerated into an ambassador of
the British government when he should be serving the King of Kings.”

“We don't serve God to gain His acceptance; we are accepted
so we serve God. We don't follow Him in order to be loved; we are loved so we
follow Him.” - Neil T. Anderson.
2 Tim 4:5 (VOICE):
“But you must stay focused and be alert at all times. Tolerate
suffering. Accomplish the good work of an evangelist, and complete the ministry
to which you have been called.”
“To serve God, to love God, to enjoy God, is the sweetest
freedom in the world.” - Thomas Watson.
