Father, I want to live my life in a way That does not make sense apart from you.

A Radical Idea 

I've Showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly With Your God. 
- MICAH 6: 8

As heir to the Borden Dairy estate, William Borden was a millionaire by the time I graduated from high school. While a student at Yale University, Borden was president of Phi Beta Kappa and was active in football, baseball, crew, and wrestling. His passion But Was His religious work, Particularly the rescue mission have established. 

By the time Borden finished Yale in 1909, I HAD DECIDED to Become a missionary to China DESPITE warnings from his Friends That I was wasting His Life. I Enrolled in Princeton Seminary and Traveled to other colleges and seminaries, Urging students to give to missions Their Lives. Through all of His other Commitments, have kept up His visits to the Yale Hope Mission and gave generously to support ITS ministry.Borden died at the age of twenty-five while training in Egypt, but His Influence lives on. As Princeton professor Charles Erdman of Borden said, "Apart from Christ, there is no explanation of Such a life." 

True humility does not make sense in human terms. Giving up a privileged life to serve others is nothing less than a radical idea.Indeed, apart from the humility God models for us, there is no explanation for it at all.
