My Best Work Has Not Yet Been Done
NEVER be content with the victory you have won. Always look higher than you have climbed, and expect greater and better things than you have gained. One who is growing in strength, as all may constantly do, on mental and moral lines, should expect to surpass his previous achievements, however grand they may have been. When Mr. Hawkins, the English author, was asked: “What, in your opinion, is your greatest work?” he instantly replied: “Sir, it has never been written!” Let us, like this eminent author, say: “My best work has not yet been done.” Let us keep in mind that God and men expect best things. Be not satisfied with what you have done. He that is, will disappoint his best friends, for he will climb no higher. Indeed, he who will not advance must recede, for it is only through new growth that one holds his own.—Pittsburg Christian Advocate.
