Work Where You Are
And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is
right I will give you. And they went their way. Matt. 20:4.
There must be those who will come into the harvest field and who will
be workers without expecting their wages in this world. In the next world
they will be abundantly rewarded. There are men and women who have been
letting their talents rust with inaction, . . . who could do a most precious
work and grow in grace and capability to work by doing their best in
accepting the work just where they are. They can single out
individuals--their neighbors--and give them personal labor. . . .
The Lord will investigate the use we have made of the talents He has
entrusted to us. He has paid the wages of His own blood and His own
self-denial and sacrifice and sufferings, to secure the willing service of
every soul as a laborer together with God. If only all felt their
accountability to God wisely to employ the gifts in talents entrusted, what
a revenue would be brought to God through Jesus Christ! The one talent may
and will increase by use. The supposed lowliest gift, the humblest service,
may reach minds and influence hearts that those who possess larger talents
could not touch.
Now, now, now is our most favorable time to work. Individual visitation
is of great value. In love for Jesus Christ and love for human souls the
truth is to be carried to every family, talked of by every fireside that it
is possible for you to find access to. . . . Bear in mind that the Holy
Spirit is the worker. The human agent working for God is not alone. . . .
Labor in perseverance, in tenderness, compassion, prayerfulness, and
love will do more than sermons. The Lord Jesus, in giving His life for the
saving of the world from the curse of sin, intended greater things than our
eyes have yet witnessed. The Holy Spirit is waiting for channels through
whom to work. . . . Satan will not always triumph. The Spirit of God will be
poured out upon the church just as soon as the vessels are prepared to
receive it.
