The bird praises God by singing; the flower pays its tribute in fragrant incense as its censer swings in the breeze; the tree shakes down fruit from its bending boughs; the stars pour out their silver beams to gladden the earth; the clouds give their blessing in gentle rain; yet all with equal faithfulness fulfill their mission. So among Christ’s redeemed servants, one serves by incessant toil in the home, caring for a large family; another, by silent example as a sufferer, patient and uncomplaining; another, with the pen, sending forth words that inspire, help, cheer, and bless; another, by the living voice, whose eloquence moves men, and starts impulses to better, grander living; another, by the ministry of sweet song; another, by sitting in quiet peace at Jesus’ feet, drinking in his spirit, and then shining as a gentle and silent light, or pouring out the fragrance of love like a lowly and unconscious flower; yet each and all of these may be serving Christ acceptably, hearing at the close of each day the whispered word, “Well done.”
