There is an old song that was written in 1918 entitled, "Brighten the Corner Where You Are." Even though its phraseology may seem strange today, the message is just as current now as it was the day it was written.
Do not wait until some deed of greatness you may do,
Do not wait to shed your light afar;
To the many duties ever near you now be true,
Brighten the corner where you are.
Refrain:
Brighten the corner where you are!
Brighten the corner where you are!
Someone far from harbor you may guide across the bar;
Brighten the corner where you are!
Here for all your talent you may surely find a need,
Here reflect the bright and Morning Star;
Even from your humble hand the Bread of Life may feed,
Brighten the corner where you are.
We might not be able to be a gospel "superstar" and preach to thousands or go to the far reaches of the earth, but there are no insignificant believers and no unimportant days.
Brighten the cornere where you are.

"no unimportant days": beautifully said. There's no moment that is removed from God; every moment is as near to God as any other. I'm comforted - and frightened! - by that thought.
