Look Up!

There is not a single thing in which we have served Christ, which shall be forgotten. Lazy, alas! we all are in service, but all shall come out that's real; and what's real is Christ in us, and that only. The appearance now may be very little—not much even in a religious view—but what's real will abide. Our hearts clinging closely to Christ, we shall sustain one another as members of the body of Christ. The love of Christ should hold the whole together, Christ being everything, and we content to be nothing... helping one another, praying one for the other. I ask not the prayers of saints—I reckon on them. The Lord keep us going on in simplicity, fulfilling as the hireling our day, till Christ shall come; and then every man shall have praise of God—"Praise of God"; be that our object, and may God knit all our hearts together thoroughly and eternally.
