"For it is not the man who commends himself that is accepted, but the man whom the Lord commends." - 2 Cor. 10:18
To serve the Lord is not an easy task. It entails a lot of sacrifices, self-denial and cross carrying. These are requirements of a person who chose to serve the Lord. The victory of the services we are doing lies on the manner we comply to the standard he wants his servants to possess.
