Why Not?

By F. C. Castle

WHY should we tarry and hold back? Why not press into the work? All Heaven is interested in our welfare; then why not make it our first and chief business to get ready for the kingdom of Heaven? Oh! for a living faith, and a baptism into the work. The truth must and will go to the ends of the earth. The Lord will have a whole-hearted people. He calls for laborers. Some have grown weary in well-doing, and nearly lost sight of the prize at the end of the race, and think it a great way off. Take courage, and watch a little longer. Soon the morning will break and the darkness will be past. Now the Spirit and bride say, Come; and whosoever will, let him come and take of the water of life freely. Why should any stand back? Why not press forward, and taste and see that the Lord is good? Salvation is free for all. How great are God's mercies! How full of compassion is our merciful High Priest! Oh! for a heart to obey, and follow in the humble way that leads to life.
