'The simplest things we do

The simplest things we do at Christ's bidding

"Fill the waterpots with water." John 2:7

Our Lord calls His people always to be helpers in blessing this world. We cannot do much. The best we can bring, is a little of the common water of earth. But if we bring that to Him, He can change it into the rich wine of Heaven, which will bless weary and fainting ones.

If we take simply what we have and use it as He commands — it will do good.

Moses had only a rod in his hand, but with this he wrought great wonders. The disciples had only five barley loaves — but these, touched by Christ's hand, made a feast for thousands.

The water carried by the servants, under the Master's blessing, became wine for the wedding. Christ passes the gifts of His love and grace, through human hands to others. We have the assurance that our most common work leaves heavenly results. No labor is in vain, which is wrought in the name of the Lord.

Our commonest work amid life's trivialities, in business, in the household, which seems but like the carrying of water to be emptied out again — is transformed into radiant service, and leaves glorious results behind.

The simplest things we do at Christ's bidding , may become immortal blessings to other souls, or to our own.
