Making Our Work Endure

"EVERY true man desires that his work shall tell. He thinks there is something for him to do, and he strives to do it. This simple, earnest desire to realize what we feel must have been God's intention when he sent our lives, a new force, into creation. But the real question is, How can a man do something that shall endure? The apostle goes directly to the heart of the question when he says, 'We can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.' Men can realize their wishes and make their works of permanent use only by uniting them with the great current of truth that is running on through life. One's work may be wasted, and the only way to make it abiding is to fasten it to that which is sure—the absolute truth."
