Sacrifice

• When thousands of voices are praising your masterpiece and one voice criticises it and if you can acknowledge that voice humbly—that’s sacrifice.
• When an enquiry is made of a blunder and you are the culprit, if no one knows it is you and there is no way finding it, if you can lift up your hand—that’s sacrifice.
• If you can willingly step down from any honour and privilege in order to follow the will of God—that’s sacrifice.
• If there is a secret about your enemy which will degrade, defame and crush him and if you can keep it to yourself—that’s sacrifice.
• If you make a big mistake and are rebuked sharply, if you take courage and attempt to do it again rightly—that’s sacrifice.
• If you can do a thing very well and yet if you are being instructed like a zombie and if you can take it in silence without getting irritated—that’s sacrifice.
• If you have done a very great help to someone and that has to be kept a secret, if you don’t even hint about what you did — that’s sacrifice.
• If you have counseled someone and he has refused to listen; if he suffers on account of this and comes back to you and if you do not say, “Did I not tell you?” but embrace him—that’s sacrifice.
• If you see your brother in sin and go and warn, taking the risk of earning his ill-will—that’s sacrifice.
• If you leave a prosperous situation to preserve your purity —that’s sacrifice.
• If you are on the right but grossly misunderstood, if you can hold your tongue from saying, “Eternity will prove it”—that’s sacrifice.
• If no one gives you the credit for something remarkable you have done, if you can keep from saying, “I did it !”—that’s sacrifice.
• If you know so-and-so has greatly harmed you and he refuses to accept it, if you can still forgive and love him—that’s sacrifice.
• If one loves you very much and you think that love is turning to lust and if you refuse to show him your love just to save him from sin—and for that you are grossly misunderstood—that’s sacrifice.
