"Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of
others." Phil. 2:4. We should be as much concerned in others' welfare as
in our own. He who is looking out for himself and neglecting others has
not advanced very far in the Christian life. The Christian lives for
others. He will overlook his own needs and see his brother's needs.
"See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that
which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men." I Thess. 5: 15.
"And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap,
if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all
men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith." Gal. 6:9,
10. To go about doing good out of a heart full of love is the way to spend
life. Heaven is going to reward us according to our works. The Bible tells
us so. Never a day should go by without our having done some good thing
purposely out of love to God and man. The Lord does not overlook small
deeds when done in love. A coral is very small, but many of them make an
island: a little good deed done every day will in a lifetime amount to
enough to build a splendid mansion in heaven.
