Home-Work for Christ

 

We are not truly Christians if we are doing nothing for our Lord. But the work of Christ is not all found in the things we do in the Church. Let no one fret who finds no time from love's devoted service for outside or public work for Christ. You are doing most beautiful things for Christ in your unselfish toil, in your sick-room ministry, in your care for your children, in your deeds of kindness to the invalid within your own doors. Only do all in Christ's name, and it will shine like angels’ work. Some people God seems to ordain for just such ministry, and to keep ever busy out of the world's sight. Let none such fret that they cannot take part in the public work of the Church.
