Give to GOD

"Don't say that all you have to give [to GOD] is mere bread and water. Give yourself to the LORD for the service of men with what you have. Cannot He change water into wine? Cannot He make stammering words to be instinct (imbued, filled, charged) with saving power? Cannot He change trembling efforts to help into deeds of strength? Cannot He still as of old, enable you in all your personal povert 'to make many rich'? GOD has need of thee for the service of thy fellow man. He has a work for thee to do. To find out what it is, and then to do it, is at once thy supremist duty and thy highest wisdom. 'whatsoever He sayest unto you, do it'." (Canon George Body, quoted by Elisabeth Eliot)
