May 26: Cheerfulness and Contentment.
Making Duty and Drudgery Noble.
If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.--Romans 12:8, NLT
WHEN WE ARE TRULY consecrated to God, His love will abide in our hearts by faith, and we will cheerfully do our duty in accordance with the will of God.--Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers, 399.
True service links the lowliest of God's servants on earth with the highest of His servants in the courts above.--Messages to Young People, 72.
Even though your work may seem to be a drudgery, you may ennoble it by the way in which you do it. Do it as unto the Lord. Do it cheerfully, and with heaven-born dignity. It is the noble principles which are brought into the work that make it wholly acceptable in the Lord's sight.--Messages to Young People, 72.
We must sow beside all waters, keeping our souls in the love of God, working while it is day, and using the means the Lord has given us to do whatever duty comes next. Whatever our hands find to do, we are to do it with cheerfulness; whatever sacrifice we are called upon to make, we are to make it cheerfully.--Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers, 423.
And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,
knowing that from the Lord you will receive
the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
--Colossians 3:23, 24, NKJV
