“The zeal of God’s house ate up our Master, and it is but a small matter that it should also consume His servants. If, by excessive labor we die before reaching the average age of man, worn out in the Master’s service, then glory be to God. We shall have so much less of earth and so much more of Heaven! And suppose we should be abused, misrepresented, and slandered for Christ’s sake, then glory be to God that we had a reputation to lose for His sake, and blessed be our Lord who counted us worthy to lose it!”
Charles H. Spurgeon, “How to Meet the Evils of the Age,” An All-Around Ministry: Addresses to Ministers and Students
