James admonishes us to be "doers of the word." John Wesley had this for his rule of life:
Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.
Abraham Lincoln used to say that he always plucked a thorn and planted a rose wherever he thought a rose would grow. There are few places where a rose will not grow!
Albert Schweitzer used to say, "When you are quite despondent, the best way is to go out and do something kind to somebody."
Our visit to the sick, the bereaved, the lonely, will kindle fires of love and uplifted spirits in us, as well as in others. Christ was faithful and cheerful; and one reason was that he "went about doing good." (Acts 10:38)
