"If two angels were to receive at the same moment a commission from God, one to go down and rule earthâ€™s grandest empire, the other to go and sweep the streets of its meanest village, it would be a matter of entire indifference to each which service fell to his lot, the post of ruler or the post of scavenger; for the joy of the angels lies only in obedience to Godâ€™s will, and with equal joy they would lift a Lazarus in his rags to Abrahamâ€™s bosom, or be a chariot of fire to carry an Elijah home."

-- John Newton
