God does not look at the amount of work we accomplish for Him. He is after
quality. A pint jar can be as perfectly filled as a gallon vessel. We may have
little, but it is what we do with our little that counts with God. If we
surrender all we are and have to God it is as acceptable as if we had ten times
that amount in capacity, ability or strength. We make a great mistake if we
estimate the value of service to God by the amount accomplished. We put people
in the world on a pedestal if they give a lot, or do a lot, or are in the public
eye alot, doing more than we could ever do.
God's eye is upon the one who
renders a small but perfect service, in honesty and love. It is on the same
level and of the same value to God as a great serrvice rendered. Likewise, a
great service for God is of the same value as the small service. All things are
on the same level to Him. He looks at every task accomplished and sees if the
person has done it for the Glory of God. We are all different, some have a
greater ability, capacity, to accomplish things in this life. But all we need to
do is use our time, gifts, talents, to the full. If you are a pint jar, be
filled to the brim! If you are a gallon vessel, be filled to the brim! use what
you have!
'Be filled with the Spirit' Eph 5:18
