Maxims - I want nothing for myself; I want everything for the Lord

“I want nothing for myself; I want everything for the Lord.”

In one of her papers, she had written, “I want nothing for myself; I want everything for the Lord.” This was her prayer to the Lord. This word may have been drawn from the autobiography of a prominent national leader, who said, “For myself, I want nothing. I want everything for my country.” Later, Watchman Nee quoted this impressive prayer as his motto. No doubt this prayer, which issued from the depths of her being, exactly described and explained Miss Barber’s life.
