“[In] God’s eyes, nothing is more significant than servanthood.  . . . Grasping for power or recognition is natural. Servanthood is supernatural. So many [people] are missing out on the supernatural today because they are caught up in the ‘search for significance.’ Ironically, the more they search for it, the less satisfied they feel.  Why? Significance is found in giving your life away, not in selfishly trying to find personal happiness.”  (Gary and Betsy Ricucci, quoted by Gary Thomas in Sacred Marriage, p. 182. Bolding is mine.)
