The Real Estimate of our LIves

Salvation Army Commissionar Samuel Logan Brengle in 1933 said, "The final estimate of men shows that history cares not for the rank or title a man has borne, or the office he has held, but only the quality of his deeds and the character of his mind and heart".  This is completely true in how our lives will be measured.  It is sad that we long for the rank, title, and office instead of living out our faith in Christ passionately.  Our passion for him impacts the world way more than our passion for seeing ourselves rise to the top of ministry.  Our passion for him leads us to serve others, but our passion to move up higher leads us to use, cast aside and not value the people around us.  Let us live a life of serving and loving others.  After all, that is the true measure of the depth of our character.
