We are to Labor With Love, September 18
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love
one to another.
John 13:35
.
May God help us to understand that we must be laborers together with
Him. Let us begin right here to be co-workers with heaven.... Will you not
unite in labor for your families and for your friends and acquaintances
Let every one of our young disciples of Christ have an unselfish love
for all other disciples of Christ.... See if there is not a poor child who
is not a favorite, to whom no special kindnesses are shown, and make
this one the object of your unselfish attention. Those who are especially
attractive will be at no loss for friends; while those who are less pleasing
in appearance, who are timid and hard to become acquainted with, may
have choice traits of character, and they are the purchase of the blood of
Christ
We need to realize daily what a helper we have in Jesus. Let all
understand that they can be co-workers with Jesus Christ. It is your
privilege to receive grace from Christ that will enable you to comfort
others with the same comfort wherewith you yourselves are comforted of
God.... Let each one seek to do his work as he will wish he had done when
the end of all things shall come. Let each try to help the next one. Thus
you may have a little heaven here below, and angels of God will work
through you to make right impressions.... Christ wants to use you as His
servants. Seek to help wherever you can. Cultivate the best dispositions
that the grace of God may rest richly upon you.
Young and old may learn to look to God as the One who will heal, as
One who sympathizes, who understands their necessities and who will
never make a mistake. Your humanity may lay hold of the divinity of
Christ by living faith, and you may learn to carry out ... the principles of
heaven. This will make you a blessing to all
