Our commonest work

Our commonest work among life's trivialities

"Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the jars with water' ; so they filled them to the brim." John 2:7

The servants carried only common water from the spring — but with Christ's blessing, the water became choice wine. So it always is, when we do what Christ bids us to do — our most prosaic work leaves heavenly results. No labor is in vain, which is wrought in the Lord.

Our commonest work among 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 ministry, 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.
