She has done

She has done what she could!

If we cannot do the beautiful things which we see others doing for Christ, and which we long to do — then we can at least do some lowly work for Him. We shall learn, too, that self-surrender to God, though our heart's fondest hope is laid down — is, in God's sight, really the most beautiful thing we can do with our life.

We shall also learn that the hands that can do no brilliant thing for God may yet become hands of blessing in the world. If we are truly fellow-workers with God, He can use whatever we have that we really surrender to Him. And ofttimes He can do more with our failures, than with our successes.

Life is measured by its final and permanent results. Not by the place a man occupies before the public — but by the benefits and blessings which he leaves behind him in other lives — must his true effectiveness be rated.

It will be seen, in the great consummation, that those who have served silently, and without notoriety or fame, have in many cases achieved the most glorious permanent results!

"And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is My disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward!" Matthew 10:42

" She has done what she could! " Mark 14:8
