Religion for All Days

 

Intense aspirations for holiness sometimes seem to unfit people for living in this world. Christ never meant it to be so, however, and such religion is wanting somewhere. You need a religion, not that will lift you up out of the weekday world into a seventh heaven of rapture, making you forget your duties to those about you, but a religion that will bring God down to walk with you in all the hard paths of toil and service, making even drudgery divine, and prosaic and commonplace toil a joy. That is what Christ wants to be to us.
