Discipline Quote by R. Kent Hughes
““Little hearts, though safe and protected, never contribute anything. No one benefits from their shrunken sympathies and visions. On the other hand, hearts that have embraced the disciplines of ministry—though they are vulnerable—are also the hearts that possess the most joy and leave their heart prints on the world. Cultivate””
