Complete Commitment to God 

One of my favourite poems comes from Robert Louis Stevenson called, Youth & Love: I. The last stanza is one that motivated me in my youth to serve God. Now some years older, the power of complete sacrifice to God still motivates me forward, although I must confess that finishing well doesn’t seem as easy as I once thought.

Youth & Love: I - last stanza

Come ill or well, the cross, the crown,
The rainbow or the thunder,
I fling my soul and body down
For God to plough them under.
—Robert Louis Stevenson
