Devoted Service

We bring our Lord most glory when we get from Him much grace. If I have much faith, so that I can take God at His word ; much love, so that the zeal of His house eats me up ; much hope so that I am assured of fruit for my labour ; much patience, so that I can endure hardness for Jesus’ sake; then shall I greatly honour my Lord.

Oh to have much consecration, my whole being being absorbed in His service ; then, even though my talents may be slender, I shall make my life to burn and glow with the glory of the Lord.

This way of grace is open to us all. To be saintly is within the reach of each Christian, and this is the surest method of honouring God. Your service may be small or even unnoticed by men, but if the Lord is the object in it, it wilt be true gold.

You may not get credit for your work in the statistics which reckon converts by the scores and hundreds ; but in that other book, which no secretary could keep, where things are weighed rather than numbered, the worker's register will greatly honour the Master.
