‘The only true ambition’*
A fitness for service reveals
a willing spiritual inclination
to dispense good to others,
A patient self-forgetfulness
with no thought of recompense,
A steadfast obedience that exchanges
burden for blessing,
activity for achievement,
That looses from the moorings of
self and apathy to freely roam
within His boundless opportunities,
Never loaded down,
but always lifted up.
*Mary Baker Eddy, Message to The Mother Church for 1902, p. 3
