I believe God greatly honors unflagging service, for an unwearied course of patient continuance in well-doing cannot proceed from natural energy, but must be sustained by His grace.
A great many young people like to be engaged for a time in the Lord’s work from love of activity or other causes. But the quiet, patient on-going of faithful obedience in days of suffering, as well as in hours of brightness, irrespective of human praise or blame, is what the Master values.
