The
Cup Of Cold Water
Read Matt. 10 :42; Mark 9:41. Nothing is too small to do
out of purest fervent love for Christ. Love is keeneyed
and will find many little things to do for Jesus in the
busiest days of life. Every act of our life leads to God
or from God. The least act done in love will be rewarded.
Even saints, many of them, do not realize this fact as
they should. They do not stop to think that their acts,
one by one, day after day are making an eternal destiny
for them. Every act goes toward building that house not
made with hands eternal in the heavens. Your soul, dear
saint, is going to inhabit forever the home you are
building out of the little acts of everyday life. The more
love we put into the small deed, the greater will be the
reward. We must have a care, however, not to do these
deeds for reward's sake, but for love's sake. Little
sacrifices of the flesh for Christ's sake makes the act
beautiful in His sight. Doing things for humanity's sake
is commendable, but doing them for Christ's sake is
infinitely more so. Many of us need greater love for
Christ; love that will move us to please the Lord in all
we think and say and do throughout the whole of the day;
love that will cause us to eat and drink to His glory.
