Christian Quote by Henri J M Nouwen
“Sometimes I think of life as a big wagon wheel with many spokes. In the middle is the hub. Often in ministry, it looks like we are running around the rim trying to reach everybody. But God says, 'Start in the hub; live in the hub. Then you will be connected with all the spokes, and you won't have to run so fast."'”
