Devotion and Service

 

He who neglects love’s duties of service, in Christ's name, to those who need the ministry of love, cannot long enjoy the raptures of worship within the sanctuary. Devotion is not the end of Christian life; we wait upon God that we may renew our strength for noble service. In our eagerness to press within the temple to look upon the face of God, we must not pass unheeding by the suffering ones who lie with appealing glance and voice outside the temple-gate. Visions of God which lead to no active service will soon die out.
