Willing Service

Willingness to serve is one of the first requirements of those who are Christians. They are to believe, to submit, to be patient, meek, merciful, but they are to stand saying, "Here am I, send me." Unless one have that spirit, he will not make much progress, nor will he find his religion a joy to him. Service is demanded, and he knows it, and unless he puts himself in an attitude of hostility by direct refusal, which he is not likely to do, if he remains a Christian at all he must try in some measure to perform it.--Anon
