No One Should Fear To Undertake Any Task In The Name Of Our Saviour, If It Is Just And If The Intention Is Purely For His Holy Service.

He Lacks Nothing That Is In The Power Of Men To Give Him. Oh, What A Gracious Lord, Who Desires That People Should Perform For Him Those Things For Which He Holds Himself Responsible! Day And Night, Moment By Moment, Everyone Should Express Their Most Devoted Gratitude To Him.
