True greatness Quote by Anonymous
““If you want to be great, then go to the last of the line. Go to the end of the line. And Jesus is saying, ‘Here's the measure of true greatness: you give, and you give, and you give again without any thought–any thought–that they’re going to pay you back.’ And that's the heart of Jesus. That's the heart of Jesus. We can never pay Him back. We can never pay back what Jesus has done for us. Have that kind of heart, Jesus is saying.””
