Work Done for the Lord

“Whatsoever is worth doing is worth doing well,” is an excellent motto in all kinds of work, how much more so in the work of the Lord. And all work of the true faithful Christian is the Lord’s work. Painstaking and carefulness may not be appreciated by man; the imperfection of our best work may be ridiculed, but the Lord looks at the motive. So, fellow-laborer, look not to men for appreciation; but “whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance; for ye serve the Lord Christ.” Col. 3: 23, 24.
