Unnoticed?

We want to be able to say, "Oh, I have had a wonderful call from
God!" But to do even the most humbling tasks to the glory of God
takes the Almighty God Incarnate working in us. To be utterly
unnoticeable requires God’s Spirit in us making us absolutely
humanly His. The true test of a saint’s life is not successfulness but
faithfulness on the human level of life. We tend to set up success in
Christian work as our purpose, but our purpose should be to display
the glory of God in human life, to live a life "hidden with Christ in
God" in our everyday human conditions ( Colossians 3:3 ). Our
human relationships are the very conditions in which the ideal life of
God should be exhibited.
