Motivation remains key to the marathon: the motivation to begin; the motivation to continue; the motivation never to quit.
We come to love those we serve. If we choose to begin to serve the Master out of even a glimmer of faith, we will begin to know Him. We will come to know His purposes for the people we serve for Him. Even when they do not accept our offer to serve them, we will feel His appreciation if we persist.

Cripple God, who always desires more than he's able to have, and doesn't always realize this to begin with. Who has built clocks, but not the time that they measure.

And has created an infinity that, from being the measure of the power he was supposed to have, turned into the measure of his boundless failure.
