Ambition Quote by Hannah K. Grieser
““We ought to take what our Master has given us and return it to Him with interest (Matt. 25:26–27). But ambition can be a slippery thing. Our motives are often hard to pin down, and we must remember that God’s economy is one of paradox: the way to glory is the way of the cross.””
