“If I speak in the language of the beneficiaries but have not love, I am only a well dressed agent.
If I have a gift for the work of community transformation and can negotiate hidden agendas, and if I have all knowledge and access to resources that can move mountains, but have not love, I am just an NGO.
If I deliver everything promised and in the process completely exhaust myself, but have not love, I gain nothing. I can build the best houses, and dig the deepest wells, but if I have not love, and I do not offer dignity and respect I am only a service provider.”
