Fifty years after I have left this world I shall be able to give a very definite answer to the question, What have I lived for? But I have not left it yet, and though it should be fifty years before I am called upon to do so, I ought, even now, to be able to find solid satisfaction in the answer to the question, What am I living for?
If I am living for myself, for my own cherished purposes, my own selfish gratification, I am serving a master who is never satisfied, do for him what you will, and whose wages will be paid in the bitter, bitter fruit of heart-sickening disappointment.
If it is Christ I am living for; if it is His pleasure I am seeking; if it is the comfort and profit of those that love Him I am set on—then I shall be made conscious of His approval now, and hear the public expression of His approval in that day. —Geo. C.
