SEPTEMBER 1
But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he
is a chosen vessel
unto me, to bear my name before The
Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel—
Acts 9:15. |

It is because we see Jesus to be the
Father’s choice that we unite ourselves to Him; it is
because we see the Father’s character manifested in Him
that we leave all to follow Him. Similarly, if we lend
our aid, our support to any human being in connection
with the Divine Plan and service, it should be simply
upon this ground—not merely a personal magnetism or favoritism, but
because our hearts are touched by the Lord with a
realization of the leader’s being of His
appointment. |
