Man's greatest honor and privilege is to do the will of God. This was what the Lord Jesus taught His disciples. He once said that only those who did His Father's will would enter the kingdom of Heaven (Matt. 7:21). He also said that His true brothers and sisters were those who did the will of God (Matt. 12:50).
- Zac Poonen

You will never need more than He can supply, and what He supplies, both materially and spiritually, will always be enough for the present.
- J.I. Packer

I am not tired of my work, neither am I tired of the world; yet, when Christ calls me home, I shall go with gladness.

What is God's remedy for dejection at apparent failure in our labors? This - the assurance that God's purpose cannot fail, that God's plans cannot miscarry, that God's will must be done. Our labors are not intended to bring about that which God has not decreed.
- A. W. Pink
253
Length of life should be measured not by the number of years but by the number of right actions.

- Thomas a Kempis
248
The highest form of worship is the worship of unselfish Christian service.
- Billy Graham
247
Faith and works are bound up in the same bundle. He that obeys God trusts God; and he that trusts God obeys God. He that is without faith is without works; and he that is without works is without faith.

244
To be used of God. Is there anything more encouraging, more fulfilling? Perhaps not, but there is something more basic: to meet with God. To linger in His presence, to shut out the noise of the city and, in quietness, give Him the praise He deserves. Before we engage ourselves in His work, let's meet Him in His Word... in prayer... in worship.
- Chuck Swindoll
243

241
When men do anything for God, the very least thing, they never know where it will end, nor what amount of work it will do for Him. Love's secret, therefore, is to be always doing things for God, and not to mind because they are such very little ones.
- Frederick W. Faber
240

233
Have you ever realized that you can give things to God that are of value to Him? Or are you just sitting around daydreaming about the greatness of His redemption, while neglecting all the things you could be doing for Him? I'm not referring to works which could be regarded as divine and miraculous, but ordinary, simple human things - things which would be evidence to God that you are totally surrendered to Him.
- Oswald Chambers
232
The real test of a saint is not one's willingness to preach the gospel, but one's willingness to do something like washing the disciples' feet - that is, being willing to do those things that seem unimportant in human estimation but count as everything to God.

231
I used to ask God to help me. Then I asked if I might help Him. I ended up by asking Him to do His work through me.

- Alexander MacLaren
225
There is no work better than to please God; to pour water, to wash dishes, to be a cobbler, or an apostle, all are one; to wash dishes and to preach are all one, as touching the deed, to please God.

224
God is so great, that he communicates greatness to the least thing that is done for his service.

- William Booth
