'The beauty of Christlikeness

The beauty of Christlikeness

In one of the cathedrals in Europe, an old man carved an exquisite picture of Christ in one of the rafters.

Just so, every Christian must strive to carve an image of the beauty of Christ, on our own hearts and lives.

Some of us may feel ourselves too feeble, or too unskilled, to do any great work in this world for Christ; but none are too feeble or too unskilled to carve the beauty of Christ on our life.

And it may be that some trembling disciple among us, timid and shrinking, whose voice is not heard in our meetings, whose work is in some quiet corner, out of sight — has wrought the beauty of Christlikeness in an exquisiteness which shall outshine all that any even of the greatest of us have done!
