"If by doing some work which the undiscerning consider 'not spiritual work' I can best help others, and I inwardly rebel, thinking it is the spiritual for which I crave, when in truth it is the interesting and exciting, then I know nothing of Calvary love."
-- Amy Carmichael
A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael by Elisabeth Elliot is one of the most challenging and encouraging books I have ever read--still reading actually!! I love this quote because it is a clear picture that serving others--changing diapers, doing dishes, folding laundry, giving someone a ride--is not glamorous or clearly identifiably 'spiritual', but it shows people Jesus all the same.
