For also in His love to man, a law is given

"For also in His love to man, a law is given by God to those who are 
entrusted with the ministry of the word, never to cease to discharge the 
duties of their office nor to be silent, whether the people have regard to 
their voice, or whether they neglect it. Jeremiah, therefore, having 
declared many threatenings to the Jews and warnings of future evils, was 
mocked by those who heard his voice, and was ridiculed all the day long. 
From human infirmity, feeling unable to endure scoffs and reviling, he at 
one time endeavoured to escape from his ministry. Hear him speak concerning 
this when he says: "I am in derision daily; then I said, I will not make 
mention of Him, nor speak any more in the name of the Lord. But His word 
was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary 
with forbearing, and I could not stay," (Jer. xx. 7, 9.) This it is which 
he says;---- "I was desirous to escape from prophesying, since the Jews did 
not listen to me; and all the while I was desiring this, the influence of 
the Holy Spirit penetrated like fire into my inmost soul, consuming all my 
inward parts and my bones, and devouring me, so that I could not endure the 
burning." If, therefore, he, when he was laughed at and derided each day; 
when he desired to be silent, underwent such punishment; of what 
forgiveness can we be worthy, who never at any time are treated thus, if we 
faint on account of the slowness of some, and cease from instructing them, 
and especially when there are so many who are attentive!"

St. John Chrysostom, On the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. 

"Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is 
beautiful."  Psalm 33:1

Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
