Meaning Behind My Motto

My motto or slogan is, "For the Lamb's reward" and I got this from an internship I did called Desperation Leadership Academy at New Life Church here in Colorado Springs. "For the Lamb's reward" comes from what is called the Moravian movement out of Herrnhut, Germany. The Moravians were a group of Protestant Christians that placed a high premium on Christian unity, personal piety, missions, music, and prayer. They were exiles to Saxony in 1722 from Moravia, hence the Moravian movement and church.

One popular story told about the Moravians is about the "Moravian slaves." Being as set as they were on missions they wanted to do missions everywhere, including in St. Thomas and St. Croix. The only way for them to get to these places to reach the slaves as they wanted to they had to sale themselves to become slaves. They were greeted with much opposition and many people tried to stop them for their own safety. As they bored the ship and began to sail away they are reported to have yelled out to their loved ones on the dock, "May the Lamb that was slain receive the reward for His suffering."

I have taken this to heart and decided to include it as part of my work. Everything I do I should do it to give a reward to my Lord who was slain. I do not serve myself or money but Jesus Christ. It's very important to me that others know this and know that I am not simply by myself in my journey of Real Estate but that I have my King beside me and He comes before everything else in life and my career. I will continue to live by this and will continue to achieve pour out my life so that the Lamb that was slain shall receive His reward for His suffering and I shall become lesser and Him Greater.
