Quote by Amy Wilson-Carmichael
To me there is no more tragic sight than the average missionary. We have given so much, yet not the one thing that counts; we aspire so high, and fall so low; we suffer so much, but so seldom with Christ; we have done so much and so little will remain; we have known Christ in part, and have so effectively barricaded our hearts against His mighty love, which surely He must yearn to give His disciples above all people.

The quote suggests that missionaries may have missed out on the true essence of their mission by placing barriers in their hearts, preventing them from fully experiencing God's love.
