TIM 2:4{Here is something worth aiming at, worth trying for! The Lord Jesus, the Captain of our salvation, is He who has chosen us to be His soldiers; and now, does He only tell us that we may do our duty—serve, obey, and fight? No; He tells us something more, gives us a hope and an aim so bright and pleasant, that it is like sunshine upon everything. He says we "may please Him." Only one who knows what it is to mourn for having grieved the dear Savior, can quite understand what a happy word this is! That we, who have been cold, and careless, and sinful, grieving His love over and over again, should be told after all that we may please Him! Oh, if we love Him, our hearts will just leap at the hope of it! Perhaps we thought this could not be till we reached Heaven; but His own Word says we "may please Him.”
Then every little service, of hand. or pen, or voice,
Becomes, if He has asked it. the service of my choice,
And from my own desires 'tis not so hard to part.
If once I know I follow so. His wiser will and heart.
