Speak like a native
And have not His love for them,
I am nothing.
If I have diplomas and degrees,
Know all the up-to-date methods,
And have not His touch of understanding love,
I am nothing.
If I am able to argue successfully
Against the religions of the people and make fools of them,
And have not His wooing note of love,
I am nothing.
If I have all faith and great ideals and magnificent plans,
And not His love that sweats and bleeds
And weeps and prays and pleads,
I am nothing.
If I give my clothes and
Money to them,
And have not His love for them,
I am nothing.
If I surrender all prospects, leave home and friends, make the sacrifices
Of a missionary career, and turn sour and selfish amid
The daily annoyances and slights of a missionary life,
I am nothing.
If I can heal all manner of sickness and disease,
But wound hearts and hurt feelings
For want of His love that is kind,
I am nothing.
If I can write articles or publish books that win applause,
But fail to transcribe the Word of the Cross
Into the language of His love,
I am nothing."
Stephen Brown
