Aquote that is often misattributed to John Wesley advises us to “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.” Whoever said or wrote this, it’s a great expression of Christian charity, and could serve well as a creed to live by. It is easy to do good works when it coincides with what we want to do anyway, but it becomes difficult when it goes against the grain of our own desires or the people we are helping are difficult or seem undeserving. It is also possible to feel that the well has run dry on our charitable impulses. People in the helping professions suffer from burnout precisely because they are helping others all the time. We must keep in mind that our duty to do and be good doesn’t end because we have done good for the better part of our day. Keep your eyes on the prize and continue to do all the good that you can. – Christopher Simon
