Do it with all your might!

"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might , for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning" Ecclesiastes 9:10

We are always the only one Christ has at the particular place at which we stand.

There may be thousands of other lives around us; we may be only one of a great company, of a large congregation, of a populous community; yet each one of us has a life that is alone in its responsibility, in its danger, in its mission and duty.

There may be a hundred others close beside me — but not one of them can . . .

take my place, or

do my duty, or

fulfill my mission, or

bear my responsibility.

Though every one of the other hundred does his work, and does it perfectly — my work waits for me, and, if I do it not, it will never be done.

"Each one should carry his own load." Galatians 6:5

"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms." 1 Peter 4:10
