Christ at work (Caryll Houselander)


  Sometimes it may seem to us that there is no purpose in our lives, that going day after day for years to this office or that school or factory is nothing else but waste and weariness. But it may be that God has sent us there because but for us, Christ would not be there.  If our being there means that Christ is there, that alone makes it worthwhile.
