Be faithful unto death,

and I will give you

       the crown of life.

                 Revelation 2. 10

("Be faithful to Me,

             even in this,"

the daily struggles

    and the ordinary,

              not just the extremes.)

"If we do not do

the running steadily

           in the little ways,

we shall do nothing

                    in the crisis."

  

             -- Oswald Chambers
