We must love those we seek to save, but we must love Christ more; we must love them because we love Christ, because he loves them, because he gave himself for them. We must strive to win souls, not for ourselves, but for Christ. It is not enough to get people to love us; we must get them to love our Saviour, to trust in him, and to commit their lives to him. We must hide ourselves away out of sight. He who is thinking of his own honour as he engages in any Christian service is not a vessel ready to be used by Christ. We need to take care that no shadows of ourselves, of our pride, our ambition, our self-seeking, fall upon our work for Christ
