It is wholly impossible to live according to Divine order, and to make a
proper application of heavenly principles, as long as the necessary
duties which each day brings seem only like a burden grievous to be
borne. Not till we are ready to throw our very life's love into the
troublesome little things can we be really faithful in that which is
least and faithful also in much. Every day that dawns brings something
to do, which can never be done as well again. We should, therefore, try
to do it ungrudgingly and cheerfully. It is the Lord's own work, which
He has given us as surely as He gives us daily bread. We should thank
Him for it with all our hearts, as much as for any other gift. It was
designed to be our life, our happiness. Instead of shirking it or
hurrying over it, we should put our whole heart and soul into it.
