Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of having an open mind and being able to consider different perspectives when examining a subject. A narrow mind that only focuses on one perspective limits its understanding and inhibits growth, whereas expanding one's viewpoint allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the topic. By embracing diverse perspectives, one can gain new insights, challenge preconceived notions, and promote intellectual and personal development.

Do you often feel like parched ground, unable to produce anything worthwhile? I do. When I am in need of refreshment, it isn't easy to think of the needs of others. But I have found that if, instead of praying for my own comfort and satisfaction, I ask the Lord to enable me to give to others, an amazing thing often happens - I find my own needs wonderfully met.
