"I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word."
John 17:6
The missionary is one in whom the Holy Ghost has wrought this realization - "Ye are not your own." [...] Our Lord makes a disciple His own possession, He becomes responsible for him. "Ye shall be witnesses unto Me." The spirit that comes in is not that of doing anything for Jesus, but of being a perfect delight to Him. The secret of the missionary is - I am His, and He is carrying out His enterprises through me.
- Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest_Sept 4
