Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men (Colossians 3:23).
It is right for Christians to be diligent in business. They have good conscience that oils the wheels. “A merry heart does good, like medicine” (Proverbs 17:22). A light heart makes easy work.

“The form of this world is passing away”
1 Corinthians 7:31
Brethren, if you are ever so deeply taken up with any enjoyment that it takes away your love for prayer or for your Bible, or that it would frighten you to hear the cry, “The bridegroom comes” and you’d reply, “Has He come already?” then you are abusing this world.

You will never find Jesus so precious as when the world is one vast howling wilderness. Then he is like a rose blooming in the midst of the desolation, a rock rising above the storm.

It is not great talents God blesses so much as great likeness to Jesus.

I know well that when Christ is nearest, Satan also is busiest.
– Robert Murray M’Cheyne –
Our soul should be a mirror of Christ; we should reflect every feature: for every grace in Christ there should be a counterpart in us.
– Robert Murray M’Cheyne –
from a letter he wrote February 26, 1840
Live near to God, and so all things will appear to you little in comparison with eternal realities.
