—RuImm’I Louis Stevenson
Yesterday I met a man who
said, “Something's wrong with
me. I can’t understand it, for I've
been sitting under the ministry of
a very great pastor for 15 years."
“That’s your trouble,” I said.
“You’ve been sitting, when you
should have been standing, or
sowing, or serving."
1 don't want to be sitting. I want
to be serving. I want to be com-
pletely used up when the Lord
calls me home to heaven. For the
harder I work, the happier I am.
The Lord has given me work
until my life shall end, and He'll
give me life until my work is done.
That’s true of you, too. So let
your work be a challenge, not a
chore; a blessing, not a bore.
