Exert Your Talents
Hebrews 13:16
But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.


"Exert your talents," said Dr. Samuel Johnson, "and distinguish yourself. Do not think of retiring from the world until the world will be sorry that you retire. I hate a man whom pride, or cowardice, or laziness drives into a corner, and who does nothing while there but sit and growl." Activity is the key to a useful Christian life. The key to activity is opening the doors o! our hearts, and letting the river of Christ's love constantly flow through. Our realisation of Christ's love prompts us to love our fellow-man, and strive to lighten his burden. Then, too, the best way to be active in God's service is to embrace every opportunity to do our fellow-man all the good we can, knowing that he that is faithful unto death shall be given a crown of life.
