Little Tasks

Always keep your eyes open for the little task, because it is the little task that is important to Jesus Christ. The future of the Kingdom of God does not depend on the enthusiasm of this or that powerful person; those great ones are necessary, too, but it is equally necessary to have a great number of little people who will do a little thing in the service of Christ.

The great flowing rivers represent only a small part of all the water that is necessary to nourish and sustain the earth. Besides the flowing river there is the water in the earth--the subterranean water--and there are the little streams which continually enter the river and feed it and prevent it from sinking into the earth. Without these other waters--the silent hidden subterranean waters and the trickling streams--the great river could no longer flow. Thus it is with the little tasks to be fulfilled by us all."
