What we do for the human soul is incomparably more important than what we do for the transient things of this world (Chuck Colson, prison reformer, Christian apologist)
The old adage is true that “all that glitters is not gold,” meaning that not every attractive element has great value. Yet, many people are working hard to achieve more “glittering” things. Malcolm Forbes claimed that the person who dies with the most toys wins. But, as Colson suggests, what we do for people is an achievement of the greatest value.
Whoever refreshes others will be refreshed (Proverbs 11:25). No one should seek their own good, but the good of others (1 Corinthians 10:24).
