DO WHAT YOU CAN

As Mary of Bethany gave her best to Jesus (Mk. 14:1-9),
so each of us must give in our own way the best we
 have to the Lord. Our efforts may not seem significant,
 but God can use them for His glory .

D.L. Moody told the story of a man who was
crossing the Atlantic by ship. He was terribly
seasick and confined to his cabin.

 One night he heard the cry "Man overboard!"
 But he felt that there was nothing he could do
to help. Then he said to himself,
 "I can at least put my lantern in the porthole."
 He struggled to his feet and hung the light
 so it would shine out into the darkness .

The next day he learned that the person
who was rescued said, "I was going down in the
dark night for the last time when someone
put a light in a porthole. As it shone on my hand,
 a sailor in a lifeboat grabbed it and pulled me in."

Everyone holding forth his own light, or using one talent,
 no matter how small, and will help accomplish God's
purpose on this earth, and will thus glorify the Savior.
 What a joy it will be when the Master looks into
your eyes in that future day and with
a loving smile of approval says,
 "Well done, good and faithful servant....
Enter into the joy of your Lord" (Mt. 25:21).

Do not wait until some deed of greatness you may do,
Do not wait to shed your light afar;
To the many duties ever near you now be true,
Brighten the corner where you are.
