  "Christian love is the only kind of love in which there is no rivalry, no jealousy. There is jealousy among lovers of art, among lovers of song and lovers of beauty. The glory of natural loves is its monopoly, its power to say, "It is mine." But the glory of Christian love is its refusal of monopoly. The spiritual artist - the person who paints Christ in his soul, wants no solitary niche in the temple of fame. He would not like to hear anyone say, "He is the first of his profession; there is not one that can hold a candle to him." He would be very sad to be distinguished in his profession of Christ, marked out as a solitary figure. The gladdest moment to him will always be the moment when the cry is heard, "Thy brother is coming up the ladder also; they brother will share the inheritance with thee." George Matheson.
