Martin Luther Quotes

The only way you can serve God is by serving other people.

When we are truly praying, then we can begin to see Christ in our neighbour; when we are really praying, we can begin to live for the Father.

Lord, teach us to step outside ourselves. Teach us to go out into the streets and manifest your love.

Stop looking for peace. Give yourselves where you are. Stop looking at yourselves, look instead at your brothers and sisters in need. Ask how you can better love your brothers and sisters. Then you will find peace.

Those who are willing to sacrifice and be of service have very little difficulty with people. They know what they are all about. People can't help but want to be near them. They help them; they work with them. That's what love is all about. It starts with your heart and radiates out.

I know sanctification comes not with any particular calling, but with genuine acts of service, often for which there is no specific calling.

Live for yourself and you will live in vain; Live for others, and you will live again.

The greatest challenge of the day is: how to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us.

He [Jesus Christ] is the Master of all as the Servant of all.

A Christian is a perfectly free lord of all, subject to none. A Christian is a perfectly dutiful servant of all, subject of all, subject to all.

Grace is a free gift of God, but to receive a gift you must have open hands.

I will be my undoing, If I become my obsession. I will forget the ones I love, If I do not serve them. I will war with others, If I refuse to see them. Therefore, I choose to turn away From my reflection, To rely not on myself But on my brothers and sisters, To project always outward Until I disappear [And only God remains.]

Do you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance.

We have to learn that service to the greater good is the greatest satisfaction. That idea is at the basis of all the great traditions dating back into history. When you get inside yourself - and you really find that deep inner peace that's rooted in love - then you can't live a life that we see being manifested in the large parts of the world right now.

True humility means giving joy to others.

Men and Women of Christ magnify their callings without magnifying themselves.

The world's idea of greatness is to rule, but Christian greatness consists in serving.

Whatever your standing in life, the most important thing is behaving in ways that help other people. It's the same with music. I am a servant of the music ... and if I get caught up in ego, I'll lose everything .. it'll burn and that's a guarantee.
