Work For God Quote by Nelson Searcy

But when you stop working for the people in front of you and instead work for God through them, you’ll minister more effectively and find more joy in the process.” quote by Nelson Searcy — Download Open image

It's easier to serve God without a vision, easier to work for God without a call, because then you are not bothered by what God requires; common sense is your guide, veneered over with Christian sentiment.
