Love Constrains Missionary Service

WHEN some one asked a missionary if he liked his work in Africa, he replied: “Do I like this work?—No; my wife and I do not like dirt. We have reasonably refined sensibilities. We do not like crawling into vile huts through goat refuse. We do not like association with ignorant, filthy, brutish people. But is a man to do nothing for Christ which he does not like? God pity him, if not. Liking or disliking has nothing to do with it. We have orders to “go,” and we go. Love constrains us.” Such a love begets the strength to do the “all things.”
