Grace is everything for nothing. It's helping
the helpless, going to those who cannot
come in their own strength.

26Lift up your eyes on high,
And see who has created these things,
Who brings out their host by number;
He calls them all by name,
By the greatness of His might
And the strength of His power;
Not one is missing.
27Why do you say, O Jacob,
And speak, O Israel:
"My way is hidden from the LORD,
And my just claim is passed over by my God"?
28Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the LORD,
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary.
His understanding is unsearchable.
29He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.
30Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
31But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.

The test of real character is what a man
does when he is tired.

35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. 37Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."

A young artist painted the picture of a forlorn
woman and a child out in a storm. The
picture had such an effect on him personally
that he put aside his palette and brush
and said, "I must go to the lost instead of
painting them." He prepared for the ministry
and for some time worked in the city's
slums. At length he said, "I must go to that
part of the world where people seem to be
helplessly lost."
That young artist became the famous
missionary Bishop Tucker of Uganda, Africa.
