There is no limit to the good you may do. If you make the word
of God the rule of your life, and govern your actions by its precepts,
making all your purposes and exertions in the fulfilling of your duty
a blessing and not a curse to others, success will crown your efforts.
You have placed yourself in connection with God; you have become a
channel of light to others. You are honored by becoming co-laborers
with Jesus; and no higher honor can you receive than the blessed
benediction from the lips of the Saviour: “Well done, good and faithful
servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.”—

Self-Surrender
The Redeemer will not accept divided service. Daily the worker
for God must learn the meaning of self-surrender. He must study the
word of God, learning its meaning and obeying its precepts. Thus
he may reach the standard of Christian excellence. Day by day God
works with him, perfecting the character that is to stand in the time
of final test. And day by day the believer is working out before men
and angels a sublime experiment, showing what the gospel can do for
fallen human beings.—
