Our Father in heaven, grant that we may be “faithful in that which is least,” leaving to Thy will whether we have the opportunity of being “faithful in much.” May we understand that the value of our service is not so much in what we do as the spirit in which we do it. Help us to remember that no service is common in Thy sight, if it is done for Thy glory and the betterment of humanity; that in blessing others, we ourselves are blessed; that life is mostly made up of little things, but a character which is perfected by Thy grace and humble service is not a little thing, but a jewel to shine in Thy crown forever. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
