Daily Strength for Daily Needs

Devotional: January 8th

"As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men." -- Galatians 6:10."Let brotherly love continue." -- 13:1.I Ask Thee for a thoughtful love, Through constant watching wise, To meet the glad with joyful smiles, And to wipe the weeping eyes, And a heart at leisure from itself, To soothe and sympathize.A. L. WARING.Surely none are so full of cares, or so poor in gifts, that to them also, waiting patiently and trustfully on God for His daily commands, He will not give direct ministry for Him, increasing according to their strength and their desire. There is so much to be set right in the world, there are so many to be led and helped and comforted, that we must continually come in contact with such in our daily life. Let us only take care, that, by the glance being turned inward, or strained onward, or lost in vacant reverie, we do not miss our turn of service, and pass by those to whom we might have been sent on an errand straight from God.ELIZABETH CHARLES.Look up and not down; look forward and not back; look out and not in; and lend a hand.EDWARD E. HALE.
