Self-Exaltation
123
in every deed and word, while pursuing your usual avocations, honor
Him whom you serve, thereby influencing for the right those with
whom you are brought in contact.
Be courteous, tenderhearted, forgiving toward others. Let self sink
in the love of Jesus, that you may honor your Redeemer and do the
work that He has appointed for you to do. How little you know of the
heart trials of poor souls who have been bound in the chains of darkness
[134]
and who lack resolution and moral power. Strive to understand the
weakness of others. Help the needy, crucify self, and let Jesus take
possession of your soul, in order that you may carry out the principles
of truth in your daily life. Then will you be, as never before, a blessing
to the church and to all those with whom you come in contact.
