Others

Thursday. Rom. 12: 9-21.

What flows in must get an outlet or stagnate. God gives; it is his very life. Jesus served; it was the God instinct in him. The real God-spirit within must serve others. Not for return, nor for advantage of any sort; not for appreciation, nor thanks, but in the absence of these, even when misunderstood and criticized, it must serve, with exquisite tact, for their sake only. This is the characteristic of God and of true service.
