Blessing Quote by Jay E. Adams
““As always in Christian service, he will find his life in losing it. His fears of men will diminish as his loving service to them increases. It is more blessed to give than to receive. Personal blessing comes not by seeking blessing, however, but by becoming a blessing to others.””
