Go, labor on: spend and be spent, 

Your joy to do the Father's will; 

It is the way the Master went; 

Should not the servant tread it still? 

Go, labor on while it is day: 

The world's dark night is hast'ning on. 

Speed, speed your work, cast sloth away; 

It is not thus that souls are won. 

Toil on, faint not, keep watch and pray; 

Be wise the erring soul to win; 

Go forth into the world's highway, 

Compel the wand'rer to come in. 

Toil on, and in your toil rejoice; 

For toil comes rest, for exile home; 

Soon shall you hear the Bridegroom's voice, 

The midnight peal, "Behold, I come."

-Horatius Bonar (1808-1889), via BA Purtle 

Throughout the Scriptures, the Lord always links genuine teshuva (repentance and return to Him) with caring for the weak, the needy, vulnerable—the little ones. "Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Remove the evil of your deeds from My sight. Cease to do evil, Learn to do good; Seek justice, Reprove the ruthless, Defend the orphan, Plead for the widow." (Isaiah 1:16–17)

-Joel Richardson

It is the real governance of the age to come, and the righteousness and reward therein, that is a primary motivator of the human heart. The lack of a real government and real rewards in an ethereal “heaven” is one of the main reasons for the lack of discipleship and sanctification in the church today. - John P. Harrigan
