There is a time for waiting, for meditation, for fellowship, for prayer. But that is not all of region. We have the vision that we may take up the task. We are saved that we may serve. We are left in this world that we may make the world better. We enjoy transfiguration visions that we may be transfigured ourselves and shine in the darkness about us. We have our hearts warmed with the love of Christ that we may go out to be the love of Christ to others.
In a cottage in Scotland, framed in glass, is a withered rose which money could not buy. A boy died far away in the south of France, where he had gone to seek health. Henry Drummond heard of the boy’s death, and, when in that region, went to his grave and picked a rose blooming on it and sent it to the boy’s mother. Drummond was always doing such kindly things. In his diary he wrote:
“Holiness is infinite compassion for others;
Happiness is a great love and much serving.”
