All I could think of was what a privilege it was to give my life away for love's sake.

True love requires sacrifice.

When we love people but don't make it about us, we're exchanging currency we can use for a while for currency we can use forever.

What pity is it that we can die but once to serve our country

If your first concern is to look after yourself, you'll never find yourself.

And yet I decide, every day, to set aside what I can do best and attempt what I do very clumsily--open myself to the frustrations and failures of loving, daring to believe that failing in love is better than succeeding in pride.

It takes a great deal of courage to follow another person's lead.

My selection process is based on "three Cs": first character, then competence, and finally chemistry with me and with the rest of the team. Character. Competence. Chemistry.

Princes and princesses are commissioned to see the people they lead reach their full potential in God. That means that the greatest compliment we can ever have is when the people we are leading become greater than us. If we believe that we are leading because we are the most qualified, then we will subconsciously work to undermine other people's advancements.

We reign with the heart of a servant and serve with the heart of a king, all for the benefit of the people around us. Rulers in God's Kingdom never rule for their own sake. It is always for the sake of others.

As we give ourselves to serving our city for the sake of the city—not for the sake of our ministry, our church attendance or even the church attendance across the city—we find greater open doors of influence.

We must learn to rule with the heart of a servant and serve with the heart of a king. It may take us a lifetime to learn this well, but it is a worthwhile journey. #bornforsignificance
