We should not act as heroes
for doing what we are expected
to do if we wish to claim a seat
in our Father’s house. Jesus gave
us instructions, and He didn’t say
if you do this or that, but when
you do it you will become heirs
to the kingdom. We must remember
this every day. There is much work
to be done. We cannot neglect the
poor and helpless and expect to be
called a hero when we finally do
something worthwhile. What we
do may be good, but it is what we
are expected to do unceasingly for
all of our life. There may be excuse
after excuse on why we didn’t, but
these excuses will not exonerate us
from what was and is our duty. It is
never too late to begin. There is
honor in joining others in doing the
work of the lord. When we join
others in doing this work, we are
blessed with a feeling of joy. We
are fulfilled and wonder why we
didn’t begin sooner. We may ask
for forgiveness for our past failures
as we proceed with our new way
of living. This is the only way we
will find the peace we are looking
for. It is in giving that we are filled.
