Within the Lines

WHATEVER happens let us not be too busy to sit at Jesus' feet.

We shall not really lose time by enjoying this; nay, we shall redeem the time;

for there is usually much more time and strength

forfeited by friction than by toil,

and we shall gain in blessedness and enjoyment of our work,

and gain in the quality of our work;

and, above all,

we shall gain in that we shall give Him pleasure

where otherwise we might only grieve Him.

And this is indeed the crown of all our endeavors.

He who pleases Him does not live in vain.
