Immorality of Actions

Since every impression is enduring; since every act leaves its mark on the life itself, as well as on other lives; since the smallest things we do become parts of our own being, while they also touch and affect others — what tremendous destinies are folded up in each quiet day of ours! The things you are doing these swift hours are for eternity. The words you spoke yesterday for Christ in the ear of the weary sufferer, the strong, helpful words you spoke to the discouraged one, the tempted one, the burdened one, the thought of comfort you breathed softly and with a prayer in the home of grief — do you know that the ministry of these good words will never cease?
