Life’s Opportunities

All the days come to us filled with opportunities. There are opportunities for gathering knowledge and for growing wise. There are opportunities for growing in character becoming stronger, truer, purer, nobler, more Christ‑like. There are opportunities for doing heroic things for Christ. There are opportunities for performing gentle ministries and for rendering sweet services in Christ’s name to those who need loving sympathy and deeds of kindness. Opportunities come to all—come continually, on all the common days, and come ofttimes in the simplest common things. The trouble with too many of us is that we do not improve them, do not seize them as they pass.
