John Wesley, ‘Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.’
This is the secret of doing good: stay close to the one who went around doing good. Hand over your burdens to Jesus and receive his rest. Take his yoke upon you as you learn from him – from his gentle, humble heart – because he is the source of doing good.
Titus 3:14
‘Our people must... not live unproductive lives.’
I wonder what God thinks is productive in our lives. Life is busy. Choosing what to do is hard. In God’s upside-down kingdom, something we think is insignificant is probably the most important thing to God.
