The question is not how to avoid loss and make it not happen, but how to choose it as a passage, as an exodus to greater life and freedom.” ― Henri J.M. Nouwen, Finding My Way Home: Pathways to Life and the Spirit

I walked with a friend to a newsstand to purchase a paper. I thanked the vendor politely but he remained coldly silent. As we walked away, my friend remarked, “A sullen fellow, isn’t he?” I replied, “Oh, he’s that way every night.” My friend asked, “Well, why then do you continue to be so very polite to him?” I answered, “Why should I let him decide how I’m going to act?” You do not choose to be in the business of bringing people to Christ. You choose Christ and you are at once in the business. - Joe Blinco
