By Xu Yan, China

In May 2023, I was in charge of sermon work. In mid-October, one of the group leaders was dismissed for not doing real work, and later, Brother Li Zhi was selected as the group leader. At that time, the leader sent a special letter to remind me, saying that Li Zhi had average caliber and lacked work capability, and asking me to assist and support him more. So that very day, I wrote a letter to Li Zhi, introducing the specific situations of the group members and the urgent issues in the group, and I asked him to prioritize the work accordingly. Li Zhi replied, saying that at first, he felt that his caliber was insufficient, that he had too many deficiencies, and that he wasn’t up to the duty of being a group leader, but after he read God’s words, his state turned around, and he’d made a plan for the upcoming work. I thought to myself, “Li Zhi has some life entry. Though his work capability is lacking, as long as he is a right person, deficiencies aren’t to be feared, and I can support and assist him more.” I felt that once he grasped some principles and gained some work experience, things would be fine. After that, I followed up on Li Zhi’s work closely. He was able to accept the suggestions I gave him, and he provided timely feedback on the details of the work.

In a little over a month, Li Zhi gradually found three text-based work team members, all of whom had some caliber. I felt quite happy, thinking, “I always struggled to find suitable people, but Li Zhi’s just arrived and has already found suitable people. It seems Li Zhi’s work capability isn’t too bad.” I thought about when I was responsible for the work of three groups and cultivating people. Back then, I was frantic every day, but now that Li Zhi had mostly gotten the hang of his work, I could relax a bit. After that, I didn’t follow up on the work as closely. Half a month later, I noticed that the group Li Zhi was responsible for hadn’t submitted any sermons. I was a bit confused, “Li Zhi said the three sisters who just joined the group had some caliber, so why haven’t there been any visible results from their duties? Could it be that they aren’t grasping the principles because they’ve just started training?” Thinking of this, I went to check the situation of the group’s sermon vetting, and I found that Li Zhi could identify some problems with the sermons, and that there were no obvious deviations in the work. I thought, “The results of the work Li Zhi has been responsible for had always been poor. It’s not possible to expect results right away. Maybe it will improve in time.” At that time, I also thought, “Should I investigate further?” But once I thought about how I’d have to spend a lot of time solving problems if there really were problems, and about how I still had the work of two other groups to follow up on, I felt that if I had to get involved in all of this, I’d be exhausted! After much thought, I finally decided it was better to just have Li Zhi investigate and resolve this. Once, I learned that one of the three newly transferred sisters, Lu Yuan, felt resistant toward Li Zhi’s follow-ups and supervision, feeling that constant inquiries about the progress of the work were a waste of her time, and she even expressed this view in front of others. I knew her attitude was wrong and would affect the sermon work, but I didn’t investigate further and try to resolve it, and I just asked Li Zhi to fellowship with Lu Yuan. Later, Li Zhi reported that Lu Yuan was doing her duties normally, so I didn’t follow up on the matter any further.

Before I knew it, it was mid-December, and I found that the group Li Zhi was responsible for still hadn’t submitted many sermons. I realized something was wrong, so I quickly wrote a letter to ask Li Zhi about the situation. He said his state wasn’t good, and that several brothers and sisters had said he couldn’t do real work or solve the difficulties they were facing in their duties, and that they were considering reporting him. At the time, I was shocked. Wasn’t he able to do some work earlier? How did it suddenly come to the point of him being reported? I felt a bit scared. The work of this group turning out like this was related to the fact that I hadn’t been doing real work during this period. I had an unshirkable responsibility. I quickly went to the group to understand the situation. To my surprise, Li Zhi felt his caliber was poor and that he couldn’t be the group leader, so he took responsibility and resigned. No matter how the leader tried to fellowship and help, it was no good. After Li Zhi left, I found that the group he’d been responsible for had a ton of problems. Lu Yuan was always venting negativity. She thought Li Zhi’s supervision and checking of her work was wasting her time, causing Li Zhi to be unable to follow up on the sermon work, which severely affected the results of the sermon work. The three new sisters who had just been transferred in were unrestrained and undisciplined, and disorganized in their duties, and when they encountered difficulties, they just passed them on to Li Zhi. But Li Zhi had never brought up the issue of their attitude toward their duties, nor did he report it to higher-ups. He just allowed them to keep coasting by. After learning all this, I was stunned. Li Zhi had brought the work to this point in the span of three months, and the group members were being severely perfunctory in their duty—I had no idea about these issues at all. This had brought the sermon work to a standstill. I regretted not having been more diligent! Later, I dismissed the unsuitable members in the group and reassigned some new personnel, and only then did the work start to gradually improve.

After this incident, I felt very guilty. I’d been well aware that Li Zhi’s caliber was average and that his work capability wasn’t great, so how could I have let go of the reins and neglected the work of this group? If I had paid more attention to following up on and looking into the work, I could have discovered Li Zhi’s problems earlier, thus avoiding these consequences. The work turning out this way revealed that I wasn’t doing real work. During that time, I often sought out God’s words exposing false leaders and read them. Among them, there was a passage that was particularly related to my state. God says: “False leaders never ask about or follow up on the work situations of various team supervisors. They also don’t ask about, follow up on, or have a grasp on the life entry of supervisors of different teams and personnel responsible for various important jobs, as well as their attitudes toward church work and their duties, and toward faith in God, the truth, and God Himself. They don’t know whether these individuals have undergone any transformation or growth, nor do they know about the various issues that may exist in their work; in particular, they do not know about the impact of errors and deviations occurring in various stages of the work on the work of the church and the life entry of God’s chosen people, along with whether these errors and deviations have ever been corrected. They are entirely ignorant about all of these things. If they know nothing about these detailed conditions, they become passive whenever problems arise. However, false leaders don’t bother with these detailed issues at all while doing their job. They believe that after arranging various team supervisors and assigning tasks, their work is done—it counts as having done the job well, and if other problems arise it’s none of their concern. Because false leaders fail to supervise, direct, and follow up on various team supervisors, and they do not fulfill their responsibilities in these areas, this results in a mess being made of the church’s work. This is the leaders and workers being derelict in their responsibilities. God can scrutinize the depths of the human heart; this is an ability that humans lack. Therefore, when working, people need to be more diligent and attentive, regularly going to the work site to follow up on, supervise, and direct the work in order to ensure the normal progress of the church work. Clearly, false leaders are utterly irresponsible in their work, and they never supervise, follow up on, or direct various tasks. As a result, some supervisors do not know how to resolve various issues that arise in the work, and remain in their roles as supervisors despite not being nearly competent enough to do the work. Ultimately, the work is delayed again and again and they make a complete mess of it. This is the consequence of false leaders not asking about, supervising, or following up on the supervisors’ situations, an outcome which is entirely caused by the false leaders’ dereliction of responsibility” (The Word, Vol. 5. The Responsibilities of Leaders and Workers. The Responsibilities of Leaders and Workers (3)). God says that false leaders are irresponsible in their duties and don’t do real work. After they choose a supervisor, they think that all is well and they can be hands-off now. So they don’t look into or grasp the details of the various items of work. They don’t even know if the supervisor or those doing duties are truly competent, or if the work is brought to a standstill, causing serious harm to the work. This is a bona fide false leader. I was exactly the kind of false leader that God talks about. After Li Zhi was chosen as group leader, I saw that he found three text-based work team members, and when I communicated with him about the work, his attitude was always quite good. So I thought Li Zhi did solid work, and that I could be at ease trusting him with the work. I then became a bureaucrat, not supervising or following up on his work. As a result, I didn’t know that Li Zhi was struggling in his duties, and I was also completely unaware that the group members were neglecting proper tasks and being perfunctory in their duties. I knew that the sermon work in their group was consistently not yielding results, but I was afraid that if I looked into the details, I would have to spend time and effort resolving the problems, so I left this to Li Zhi to handle. Also, Lu Yuan didn’t allow others to supervise her work and kept venting negativity in the group. She played an obstructive role in the sermon work. I didn’t expose her issues but instead let Li Zhi handle them, and afterward, I didn’t follow up on the results. This led to the problems remaining unresolved, and Lu Yuan failing to play a positive role in the group, impacting the work’s progress. Seeing this, I realized I was indeed being a false leader. Doing my duties left nothing but transgressions.

Later, I reflected, “What led me to trust Li Zhi so much?” I read God’s words: “False leaders never inquire about supervisors who are not doing actual work, or who are not tending to their proper work. They think they just need to choose a supervisor and that’s the end of the matter, and that afterward the supervisor can handle all work matters themselves. So false leaders just hold gatherings every so often, and do not supervise the work or ask how it’s going, and act like hands-off bosses. … They are incapable of doing real work themselves, and they aren’t meticulous regarding the work of team leaders and supervisors either—they do not follow up on it or inquire about it. Their view of people is only based on their own impressions and imaginings. When they see someone performing well for a time, they think that this person will be good forever, that they will not change; they do not believe anyone who says there is a problem with this person, and they ignore it when someone warns them about that person. Do you think false leaders are stupid? They are stupid and foolish. What makes them stupid? They blithely put their trust in a person, believing that because when this person was chosen, they swore an oath, and made a resolution, and prayed with tears streaming down their face, that means they are dependable, and there will never be any issues with them taking charge of work. False leaders have no understanding of people’s natures; they are ignorant of the true situation of corrupt mankind. They say, ‘How could someone change for the worse when they have been chosen as a supervisor? How could someone who seems so intense and reliable shirk their work? They wouldn’t, would they? They have a lot of integrity.’ Because false leaders have put too much faith in their own imaginings and feelings, this ultimately renders them incapable of timely resolving the many problems that arise in church work, and stops them from promptly dismissing and reassigning the supervisor involved. They are bona fide false leaders. … false leaders have a fatal flaw: They are quick to trust people based on their own imaginings. And this is caused by not understanding the truth, is it not? How does God’s word reveal the essence of corrupt humankind? Why should they trust in people when God doesn’t? False leaders are too arrogant and self-righteous, are they not? What they think is, ‘I couldn’t have misjudged this person, there shouldn’t be any problems with this person that I’ve judged to be suitable; they are definitely not someone who indulges in eating, drinking and entertainment, or who likes comfort and hates hard work. They are absolutely dependable and trustworthy. They will not change; if they did, that would mean I was wrong about them, wouldn’t it?’ What kind of logic is this? Are you some kind of expert? Do you have x-ray vision? Do you have that special skill? You could live with a person for one or two years, but would you be able to see who they really are without a suitable environment to lay their nature essence utterly bare? If they were not revealed by God, you could live side-by-side with them for three, or even five, years, and would still struggle to see just what kind of nature essence they have. And how much more is that true when you rarely see them, are rarely with them? False leaders blithely trust a person based on a temporary impression or someone else’s positive appraisal of them, and dare to entrust the work of the church to such a person. In this, are they not being extremely blind? Are they not acting recklessly? And when they work like this, are the false leaders not being extremely irresponsible?” (The Word, Vol. 5. The Responsibilities of Leaders and Workers. The Responsibilities of Leaders and Workers (3)). After reading God’s words, I understood why I blindly and rashly trusted people. The root cause was that I didn’t understand the truth and was very arrogant, and that I measured people according to my notions and imaginings. I deemed that a person could do real work just because they showed a little good performance for a moment. This led to me overly trusting people and neglecting to supervise and follow up on work. In fact, the leader had reminded me that Li Zhi’s caliber and work capability weren’t very good, and he told me to follow up more on the details of the work and to guide him more in doing the work. But because Li Zhi had found three text-based work team members and noticed some issues with the sermons, I changed my view of him, thinking he had some work capability and that his caliber wasn’t too bad. After that, I took a hands-off approach toward his work, resulting in delays to the work. When I really thought back, I realized two of the three members had been provided by the leader, and Li Zhi had only been responsible for arranging their duties. It wasn’t that Li Zhi had discovered them through cultivating people himself. Also, the reason he could spot some issues with the sermons was because he’d practiced writing sermons, and he could grasp some principles. But when it came to resolving problems using the truth, such as resolving the issues with the group members’ states and their attitudes toward their duties, he couldn’t do it. I wasn’t measuring people according to the truth principles, and on top of that, I’d been indulging in ease and unwilling to suffer or pay a price, not following up on or guiding Li Zhi’s work in detail. In the end, this harmed the work. Reflecting on this, I felt both guilt and regret in my heart. I realized that I’d been truly blind in both my eyes and heart.

Afterward, I looked for God’s words on how to do actual work to read them. God says: “No matter what important work a leader or worker does, and what the nature of this work is, their number one priority is to understand and grasp how work is going on. They must be there in person to follow up on things and ask questions, getting their information first-hand. They must not simply rely on hearsay or listen to other people’s reports. Instead, they must observe with their own eyes the situation of the personnel and how work is progressing, and understand what difficulties there are, whether any areas are at odds with requirements of the Above, whether there are violations of principles, whether there exist any disturbances or disruptions, whether there is a lack of necessary equipment or related instructional materials regarding professional work—they must stay on top of all of this. No matter how many reports they listen to, or how much they glean from hearsay, neither of these beats paying a personal visit; it is more accurate and reliable for them to see things with their own eyes. Once they are familiar with all aspects of the situation, they will have a good idea of what’s going on. They especially must have a clear and accurate grasp of who is of good caliber and worthy of cultivation, as only this allows them to accurately cultivate and use people, which is crucial if leaders and workers are to do their work well” (The Word, Vol. 5. The Responsibilities of Leaders and Workers. The Responsibilities of Leaders and Workers (4)). God says that in order to do real work well, the key is not to consider the flesh and to not just listen to others’ reports. We must participate personally, go deep into the site of the work itself, and understand the details of the work. We must also personally participate in resolving problems. We must follow up on the results of the work after a period of time, not just implement it without follow-up, and we must ensure that we discover and resolve problems. So I prayed to God in my heart, saying that I wouldn’t be bureaucratic anymore, and after that, I started focusing on doing detailed work, personally asking about some issues and working to resolve them. At that time, the sermon work in the group that Sister Su Jing was responsible for wasn’t getting any results, and when I came to look into the work, she reported how she did real work and how she suffered and paid a price. Hearing her report, it seemed that Su Jing did a lot of things, but this didn’t match up with the results of the work, so I started to look into the work in detail. I found that Su Jing was very concerned about her reputation and status, and when reporting work, she only reported the good news and not the bad. When I inquired about the details of the work, she always avoided key issues, and after several rounds of investigation and inquiry, I confirmed that Su Jing had no work capability, and I then dismissed her. Because I couldn’t find a suitable person to be the group leader at that moment, I took on some of the details of the work myself. Through two months of actually participating in and following up on the work, the results of the sermon work improved. I tasted the sweetness of doing real work.

Before I knew it, April had come. The work of the three groups I was responsible for gradually showed progress, and we had identified group leader candidates. In my heart, I was planning, “The work is finally on track, and as long as I follow up on things regularly, it should be fine, and I can finally rest.” Gradually, I only focused on the sermons submitted each day, and I no longer took the initiative to look into the details of the work. One day in June, I watched an experiential testimony video, where the brother was the church leader, responsible for the gospel work. He did the work with considerable detail and knew each potential gospel recipient’s situation well. I compared myself to her and realized I was far behind. Especially in the past half month, I’d just been content with getting the sermons submitted, and I didn’t look into the details of each group’s work. I realized that I had become a bit lax in my work. I thought about how I needed to quickly turn things around. Later, I began to check the details of the work of several groups. I didn’t realize it until I looked, but when I did, I was shocked. One group had an enormous backlog of sermons that hadn’t been vetted, and in another group, the work results significantly declined. The more I checked, the more problems I found. I was so angry with myself. How could I have again walked down the path of a false leader in spite of myself? I prayed and sought, and I read a passage of God’s words: “There is another type of false leader, which we have often talked about while fellowshipping on the topic of ‘the responsibilities of leaders and workers.’ This type has some caliber, they’re not unintelligent, in their work, they have ways and methods, and plans for solving problems, and when they are given a piece of work, they can implement it close to the expected standards. They are able to discover any problems that arise in the work and can also resolve some of them; when they hear the problems some people report, or they observe the behavior, manifestations, speech and actions of some people, they have a reaction in their heart, and they have their own opinion and an attitude. Of course, if these people pursue the truth and have a sense of burden, then all these problems can be resolved. However, problems unexpectedly go unresolved in work that’s under the responsibility of the type of person we’re fellowshipping on today. Why is that? It’s because these people don’t do real work. They love ease and hate hard work, they are just making perfunctory efforts on the surface, they like being idle and enjoying the benefits of status, they like ordering people around, and they just move their mouths a bit and give some suggestions and then consider their work done. They don’t take any of the real work of the church or the critical work God entrusts to them to heart—they don’t have this sense of burden, and even if God’s house repeatedly emphasizes these things, they still don’t take them to heart. … What is the problem with this type of person? (They’re too lazy.) Tell Me, who has a serious problem: lazy people, or people with poor caliber? (Lazy people.) Why do lazy people have a serious problem? (People of poor caliber cannot be leaders or workers, but they can be somewhat effective when they do a duty that is within their abilities. However, people who are lazy can’t do anything; even if they do have caliber, it has no effect.) Lazy people can’t do anything. To summarize it in two words, they are useless people; they have a second-class disability. No matter how good the caliber of lazy people is, it is nothing more than window dressing; even though they have good caliber, it is of no use. They are too lazy—they know what they are supposed to do, but they don’t do it, and even if they know something is a problem, they do not seek the truth to resolve it, and though they know what hardships they should suffer in order for the work to be effective, they are unwilling to endure these worthwhile hardships—so they cannot gain any truths, and they cannot do any real work. They do not wish to endure the hardships people are supposed to; they only know to indulge in comfort, enjoy times of joy and leisure, and enjoy a free and relaxed life. Are they not useless? People who cannot endure hardship don’t deserve to live. Those who always wish to live the life of a parasite are people without conscience or reason; they are beasts, and such people are unfit even to perform labor. Because they cannot endure hardship, even when they do perform labor, they are not able to do it well, and if they wish to gain the truth, there is even less hope of that. Someone who cannot suffer and does not love the truth is a useless person; they are unqualified even to perform labor. They are a beast, without a shred of humanity. Such people must be eliminated; only this accords with God’s intentions” (The Word, Vol. 5. The Responsibilities of Leaders and Workers. The Responsibilities of Leaders and Workers (8)). Reading God’s exposure of such false leaders who have caliber but do not properly do their duties, my heart trembled. In the past, I’d always thought I wasn’t too lazy, and I never associated myself with the useless person exposed by God, but this time, in the face of the facts, I had to admit that the root of my failure to do real work was due to my loving comfort, hating hard work, coveting ease, and being too lazy. Looking back over my time supervising the work of three groups, at the beginning, I could take some responsibility, endure some hardship, and pay some price, and the work showed some progress. But I was too considerate toward my flesh, and I was always afraid of expending more time and energy and tiring myself out, so when I saw some results in the work, my desire for comfort arose, and I started pushing off work onto group leaders and secretly enjoying my leisure. On the surface, it looked like I was working every day, but I wasn’t doing detailed, real work. I was well aware that Li Zhi had just started training, and yet I still dropped work onto him. I was also well aware that some group members had problems and needed constant follow-up and attention, yet I still took a hands-off approach. Especially when a sister I was partnered with asked me to supervise a weak group, I resisted in my heart and wanted to pick an easier task, and though I eventually agreed, I was reluctant and unwilling. It was because I was coveting comfort that in my duties, I only focused on avoiding fleshly suffering and minimizing brain expenditure. I was satisfied every day with just vetting the sermons, and I didn’t want to put in the mental effort to actively think about the problems of each group. I started off strong in my performance of duty, but couldn’t follow through to the very end, and I always took the easiest path. God gave people minds to ponder proper matters, but I never wanted to use my mind or think through problems. The church had arranged for me to do such an important duty, but I wasn’t thinking about how to pay a price to make the work effective. Instead, I was being irresponsible toward my duties for the sake of fleshly comfort. I truly had no conscience or humanity. Was I not exactly the kind of useless person God speaks of? Though I wasn’t disabled, I didn’t give my full effort in my duties. This made me a useless person.

Later, I began to wonder, “What will my constant coveting of fleshly comfort bring me in the end? Does constantly cherishing my flesh have any value?” I read God’s words: “Man’s flesh is like the snake: Its substance is to harm his life—and when it completely gets its own way, your life becomes forfeit. The flesh belongs to Satan. There are always extravagant desires within it; it thinks only for itself, it always desires ease and wants to indulge in comfort, wallowing in sloth and idleness, and having satisfied it to a certain point you will ultimately be eaten up by it. Which is to say, if you satisfy it this time, it will ask you to satisfy it again next time. It always has extravagant desires and new demands, and takes advantage of your pandering to the flesh to make you cherish it even more and live among its comforts—and if you can never overcome it, you will ultimately ruin yourself” (The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. Only Loving God Is Truly Believing in God). Indeed, the flesh is like a snake; give an inch and it’ll take a mile. The more you satisfy it, the more insatiable it becomes, and in the end, it can devour a person. Thinking back to a while before, when I personally participated in the work, though my flesh was a bit tired, I could focus on seeking the truth to address whatever came up, and I prayed to God more, and reflected on myself more. Crucially, while doing my duties, I felt God’s guidance, my spirit was at peace and at ease, and my relationship with God was normal. But when I considered my flesh, I no longer thought about how to fulfill my duties. Instead, I thought about how I could rest more and how I could let my mind relax, and gradually, when I saw problems, I became unwilling to handle them and even more unwilling to actively solve them. Sometimes I even thought, “Why tire myself out so much? Why get involved in everything, making myself so tired—isn’t that foolish?” I gradually gave in to my flesh, leading me to become more and more passive in my duties, delay the work, and transgress. After understanding these things, I became willing to rebel against my flesh, and so I prayed to God, willing to repent and do real work.

One day, during devotionals, I read more of God’s words: “There are not many opportunities currently to perform a duty, so you must take hold of them when you can. It is precisely when faced with a duty that you must exert yourself; that is when you must offer yourself up, expend yourself for God, and when you are required to pay the price. Do not hold anything back, harbor any schemes, leave any leeway, or give yourself a way out. If you leave any leeway, are calculating, or are slippery and slack off, then you are bound to do a poor job” (The Word, Vol. 3. The Discourses of Christ of the Last Days. Life Entry Begins With the Performance of Duty). “If you truly possess caliber of a certain degree, truly have a grasp of professional skills within the scope of your responsibility, and are not an outsider to your profession, then you just have to abide by one phrase, and you will be able to be loyal to your duty. Which phrase? ‘Put your heart into it.’ If you put your heart into things, and put your heart into people, then you will be able to be loyal and responsible in your duty. Is this phrase easy to practice? How do you put it into practice? It doesn’t mean to use your ears to hear, nor your mind to think—it means using your heart. If a person can truly use their heart, then when their eyes see someone do something, act in some way, or have some sort of response to something, or when their ears hear some people’s opinions or arguments, by using their heart to ponder and contemplate these things, some ideas, views, and attitudes will come up in their mind. These ideas, views, and attitudes will make them have a deep, specific, and correct understanding of the person or thing, and at the same time, will give rise to suitable and correct judgments and principles. Only when a person has these manifestations of using their heart does it mean they are loyal to their duty” (The Word, Vol. 5. The Responsibilities of Leaders and Workers. The Responsibilities of Leaders and Workers (7)). God’s words made me understand that to fulfill my duties and do real work, I must first consciously rebel against my corrupt disposition and put my heart into my duties. As long as I put my heart in, I will be able to discover problems and actually solve them. Only by doing this can I do my duties loyally, and only then can it be considered doing real work. If I don’t put my heart in and don’t want to make an effort or pay a price, I won’t put in the effort to seek the truth when I see problems, and I may not even discover the problems, let alone solve them, and in the end, I won’t be able to fulfill my duties.

Later, I communicated with the sister I was working with about the problems in the group one by one. We carefully checked the work in the group and found some deviations and gaps, and I then wrote a letter to communicate practically, and gradually the issue of low efficiency in the performance of duties in the group was resolved. But I knew that these tasks couldn’t be resolved in just one go, that ongoing follow-ups and supervision would be necessary, and that this was work that had to be done over the long term. Sometimes, when the work piled up, I still revealed a state of desiring to be lazy and avoid exhaustion, but I was able to turn myself around and rebel against my flesh promptly, and do real work based on God’s words. Without realizing it, the sermon work in the groups I was responsible for began to show clear results, and I felt really happy. I felt at peace in my heart while doing my duties this way.

After experiencing this, I realized that doing real work is not hard. It’s just a matter of putting your heart into it. When you set your intentions right—oriented away from fleshly comfort and ease, and instead toward considerations about how to do real work—your heart is more focused on proper matters, and in your duties, you can feel God’s guidance, and see problems more clearly and accurately. Crucially, through doing real work, you can discover more problems, and you can practice solving problems with the truth, and through seeking, you also come to an understanding of another aspect of the truth principles. I’ve come to realize that doing real work is the path to peace and ease in the heart. Thank God!
