Unseen

Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste it’s sweetness on the desert air. —Thomas Gray

Am I willing to serve Jesus in some obscure place? Unknown? Unheralded? Unseen? Living in quiet obedience, loving and praying, and little more?

Am I willing to run that risk for Jesus sake?

David Roper
2.13.7
