Reflections
 
Some Definite Service
 
God has created me to do him some definite service; He has committed some work to me which he has not committed to another.
 
I have my mission - I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next.
 
I have a part in this great work; I am a link in the chain, a bond of connection between persons.
 
He has not created me for naught. I shall do good, I shall do his work; I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place, while not intending it, if I do but keep his commandments and serve him in my calling.
 
Therefore I will trust him.
 
Whatever, wherever I am, I can never be thrown away.
 
I ask not to see.
I ask not to know.
I ask simply to be used.
