The world crowns "success"
"Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!" Matthew 25:23
It is not great things that God requires of us, unless our mission is to do great things. He asks only that we be faithful in the duties which come to our hand in our commonplace days. That means that . . .
we do all our work as well as we can;
we serve well in the varied relationships of life;
we stand heroically in our lot, resisting temptation and continuing true and loyal to God;
we fulfill our mission in all ways according to the grace given unto us, using every gift and talent for the glory of God and the good of the world.
The world crowns "success" — but God crowns "faithfulness."
