Enthusiasm without efficiency is often a source of loss and grief...

God will not ask you,
when and where you rendered service?

He will ask with what motive you did it.

You may boast about the quantity,
but God seeks quality, the quality of the heart,
the purity of the mind, the nobility of the motive.

The Lord is pleased only when you do
the things He desires. How else can
you win His grace, but by nursing and
nourishing His children.

You must not merely have the enthusiasm to serve,
but also the intelligence and the skill;
only then can you be efficient and useful.

Enthusiasm without efficiency is often a source of loss and grief.
