YOU'RE CALLED TO DO "GOOD WORKS"
"Being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge 
of God." Col 1:10 NKJV
Many people know how Helen Keller overcame the difficult physical challenge of being left without hearing, speech, and sight after contracting fever as a baby and how she eventually learned to communicate by learning Braille. Her life inspired millions of people, One of her ardent admirers was author Mark Twain. She was invited to visit every president at the White House from her childhood on. What many people don't know, however, is how hard Helen worked as an adult. After graduating with honors from Radcliffe College, she worked to help others until her death at the age of eighty-eight.
She authored numerous articles. She gave lectures for the American Foundation for the Blind and raised millions of dollars for thenm On her eightieth birthday, she was given 
the Helen Keller International Award for those who give outstanding help to the blind. In the Bible, Paul prayed for the Colossian Christians: "That you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him" (Col 1 : 10 NKJV). And he gave them two ways in which they 
could do this: "Being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God" (NKJV). Faith and works; spirituality and service; ministering to the Lord and meeting the needs of others. That's how Helen Keller lived. You say, "But my goal is to please the Lord rather than people." Here's how you do that: "With goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men" (Eph 6:7 NKJV), Hymn writer Charles Meigs wrote: '"Others, Lord, yes others, let this my motto be. Help me to live for others, that I may live like Thee."
