Christ has no body now on earth but yours, no hands, no feet but yours. Yours are the eyes with which Christ looks out his compassion to the world. Yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good. Yours are the hands with which he is to bless us now.

Consider seriously how quickly people change, and how little trust is to be had in them; and hold fast to God, Who does not change.

Trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
