Serving Quotes

“The next time you want to withhold your help, or your love, or your support for another for whatever the reason, ask yourself a simple question: do the reasons you want to withhold it reflect more on them or on you? And which reasons do you want defining you forevermore?”

“Man is a fallen star till he is right with heaven: he is out of order with himself and all around him till he occupies his true place in relation to God.

― Charles H. Spurgeon, Humility and How to Get It

“I often ask myself, 'Who would Jesus vote for?' Then I start to think that he wouldn't vote at all; however, it would not be out of apathy or disinterest, but out of perfection and light. As a miracle worker, I think he would, by the power of God's teachings, the perseverance and the truth, influence in a modern sense whoever is put into office how to best serve his fellow men. One, like his skeptics, may find that impractical. But there is a message in that no man in power can slow the momentum of the will of God, and the miracles of his teachings will be forever victorious.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

― Ravi Zacharias, I, Isaac, Take Thee, Rebekah

Az said nothing.

No, he just moved toward her.

Mor tensed beside me.

Elain's hands remained in midair, as if the ghost of the dish remained between them.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Frost and Starlight

“Customer service is bad because we allow it to be bad. What do you do when you get bad service? Tell the truth.
If you aren’t willing to speak up, then you are an accessory to the crime.
You can’t ignore bad service and expect it to get better. Behavior that is ignored will be repeated.
Next time you get bad service, speak up. Remember: it’s your money you are defending – money you worked hard for. Tell the company and others. Use the internet and social media. That’s how customer service will improve for all of us.”
― Larry Winget

what God is doing until the day he calls us home. This may mean you invest faithfully in the town you live in now for forty more years.

― Ben Stuart, Single, Dating, Engaged, Married Bible Study Guide: Navigating Life + Love in the Modern Age
