Lo, l am with you alway, even unto the end
of the Age—Matt.
28:20.

Surely He who was careful to supervise the sowing work is not
less interested and careful in respect to the reaping. Let us then
thrust in the sickle of Truth with energy and courage, remembering
that we serve the Lord Christ, remembering that we are not
responsible for the harvest but merely for our energy in gathering
what ripe grain we can find. If the labor be great for the finding
of a few kernels of ripe grain, we are to rejoice the more in those
we do find, and learn to love and appreciate that which is scarce
and precious. Let us remember, too, while using all the wisdom we
can in this service, that the Lord’s object in giving us a share in
His work is not so much what we can accomplish as in the blessing
that the labor will bring upon
us. |
