I’ve worked with volunteers before,” he began. “It’s important not to… not to treat them like servants.

Here is the great secret of success. Work with all your might; but trust not in the least in your work.

And still again pray, and then work. And so on all the days of your life. The result will surely be, abundant blessing. Whether you see much fruit or little fruit, such kind of service will be blessed.
