DAILY?READINGS: 1 Samuel 21-22; Isaiah 61; Romans 6:1-14
But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased Him. 1 Corinthians 12:18
Walking along the roadside I noticed tiny flowers hugging the ground. Most passersby would not notice them but it didn’t matter; they just kept on sharing their beauty. Compared to a larger blossom they would appear insignificant yet they were beautiful. In a similar fashion, the Church is made up of large and small parts. Some may be hidden and unnoticed but each one is necessary. If you feel your talent or gift is of little value in contrast to others, remember each one has a specific place to fill. You may be the smallest part but you are just as important as the biggest flower of the bouquet. —E. M. Dyck
Go, labour on! ’Tis not for naught, thine earthly loss is heavenly gain;
Men heed thee, love thee, bless thee not; the Master praises, what are men?—Horatius Bonar
