1 Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. I was talking the other day to a friend of mine whom I had known some years before as an easy-going youth, just drifting with the hour, a present pleasure shaping his life. I found him an earnest and devoted Christian, a leader in the work of God's word. I was anxious to know what had led to the change, and soon I had the chance of a quiet talk with him. "How did this all come about?" I asked. He told me that one week-day afternoon he was passing some place of worship, and seeing the people going in he strolled in with the rest. He sat and listened to an earnest appeal from the speaker, and began to think more seriously than he ever had done about his life and what he should do with it. "Here am I just beginning life," he said to himself, "what is really the best thing I can do with it? I can go in for money, and perhaps make it; but I shall have to leave it behind, and I must die a pauper however much I make. I can go in for pleasure and get it for awhile perhaps, but that can't last for ever; or I might give myself right up to God, and live with all my heart to serve and please Him. That will last longest and be best for now and ever." So he started then and there; and since that day he had tried to make that the purpose of his life. (M. Guy Pearse.)
