“Just as a mother’s love conquers everything and turns sorrow and trouble into joy,
sustaining her through the birth process and the education of her children, so ministers
should burn with unquenched love for Christ and the church, so that however hard
the going may be, nothing will overpower the joy and delight that they get from 
fulfilling their ministry.”
