Little Things

J. R. Miller

"Littles make perfection," replied the artist to one
who asked him why he spent so much time in giving
the little finishing-touches to his statue. There can
be no perfection in any kind of workmanship, unless
attention is paid to the minutest details of construction
or finishing. One smallest flaw or incompleteness left
in the work, in any part of it—leaves a blemish on the
finished endeavor.

Life is a mosaic, and each small stone must be polished
and set with greatest care—or the piece will not at last,
be perfect. One whose daily life is careless—is always
weak in Christian character. But one who habitually walks
in right paths, no matter how small and apparently trifling
the things may be—grows strong and noble. Littles make
perfection. "Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or
whatever you do—do everything for God’s glory."
1 Corinthians 10:31
