John Piper said:
"When faith stands in front of a mirror, the mirror becomes a window and sees on the other side the glory of Christ. The decisive alternative to saying, 'I am all,' is not to say, 'I am nothing,' but to say, 'Christ is all.' Faith looks to Christ, not self, not even the new self. In fact the definition of the new-self is the self that looks to Christ as its Savior and Lord and Treasure and Joy and Satisfaction."
From this sermon.

Let the motto upon your whole ministry be - "Christ is All!" - Cotton Mather
