God deals with us singly, and we must deal with God singly. We have little concern with what others do, but everything with what we do ourselves. Let us strive so to live, and think, and speak and act as if we and God were alone, and as if the whole weight and responsibility of his work upon earth lay upon us, as it does to the full extent of our power to bear it. We are not only responsible for our own souls, but for the souls of others. How different a state the world would be in, if every one had his heart on fire with divine love, and like the Christians of apostolic days, told the old, old story continually. Not only in public to many, but one by one, in the frank, candid, spontaneous, unaffected speech, with which one who loves Christ may tell another the beauty of his Master. If each were so to act, what an enormous power would be set to work! What a blessing might be expected from above, if every man did what he might do for Christ! God puts it in our power to do all that he means for us to do. He has not given us time, talent, money, position, influence, to be thrown away. We only need the zeal, the heaven-given fire of the Spirit; the all-constraining, all-subduing love of Christ.
