That which selfish hearts would regard as humiliating service, ministering to those who are wretched and in every way inferior in character and rank, is the work of sinless angels. The spirit of Christ's self-sacrificing love is the spirit that pervades heaven and is the very essence of its bliss. You are not to wait for great occasions or to expect extraordinary abilities before you go to work for God.
Those who endeavor to maintain Christian life by passively accepting the blessings that come through the means of grace, and doing nothing for Christ, are simply trying to live by eating without working. When the love of Christ is enshrined in the heart, like sweet fragrance it cannot be hidden.
The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many. Matthew 20:28
