None have all the talent they wish, but the smallest measure is enough to honor God. Any strength at all is sufficient to share another's burden. Ants lift as heartily as lions, though bearing less, and one-thousand roll a stone. Every voice qualifies for the heavenly choir. Frogs sing no less worshipfully than nightingales, giving volume to the joyful noise. Even croaking praise, sincerely sung, sounds sweet to God who hears the tones of intent and delights in harmonies of the heart. Sound for God's sake is always without shame; every motion is honorable if moved by love; for our law is to "love the Lord with all", and no more.
