Vapid, superficial, selfish pleasure',

Back to THOUGHTS FOR THE QUIET HOUR

---

Thousands live their whole life for vapid, superficial, 
selfish pleasure; a wanton and wasteful expenditure 
of available strength and purpose. How far better to
work for God and for the good of men! Not the exacted 
toil of the fretted and fettered slave, but the consecration 
of the willing heart, the service which is perfect freedom
—life, animated by the inspiring motto, "This world is 
fading away, along with everything it craves. But if you 
do the will of God, you will live forever!" 1 John 2:17
