WORK WHERE YOU ARE.

By Minnesota Worker

It is very common to hear people say: “If I were in different circumstances, I could do so much more for the cause. If I could only go here or go there—if only this obstacle or that were removed, I might do something.” The fact is, we can do what we can, wherever we are, and we should do no more than that anywhere. The missionary spirit shows itself as truly in the home as in a foreign land, and whoever can find nothing to do where he is, would make sorry work in a broader field. “It is not where we are, but what we are” that the angels record. If we think that a change of circumstances would improve our spiritual condition, let us consider whether a change of heart is not needed more. A good text for us to think of sometimes may be found in Jer. 2:36.—Minnesota Worker.
