Many Christians think that they Receive Jesus as someone who can Save them and Help them, but virtually they deny Him as Master.
They think they have a right to have their own will in a thousand things.
They speak very much what they like, they do very much what they like, they use their property and possessions as they like.
They are their own masters, and they have never dreamed of saying,
Jesus, I Forsake All to Follow Thee.
…they have not ministered to the Lord.
…their own pleasure and delight having been satisfied.
…to what you inwardly minister is your own flesh!
In Truth, you are not at all seeking to please the Lord.
Let us Ask God to Gives us Grace that we may Know what is Ministry to God.
The Life of Grace is Always and Only a Life of Faith,
And in the Relationship to Jesus the one daily and unceasing duty of the Disciple is to Believe.
Because Loves Unites!
Love envies not, seeks not her own, thinks no evil of others;
In other words, Love does not divide and separate.
It is Because we do not Abide in Christ that the Church is so impotent in the face of unfaithfulness, worldliness, and unbelief.
Comforter! called to one’s side – that is, to one’s aid.
The Holy Spirit is our Present Help.
Whenever we need His Aid, He is Always Alongside us to Help.
And Advocate! one who pleads another’s cause.
Christ Appears Before God to Plead for us – that is, to Plead for our Good.
The Lord will NOT leave us as orphans.
He will Himself Take Care of us,
Nourishing us, Edifying us, and Bearing the Full Responsibility for us.

1 JOHN 4.19-21
we love Him, because He first loved us; if anyone may say, “I love God,” and may hate his brother, he is a liar; for he who is not loving his brother whom he has seen, how is he able to love God whom he has not seen? And this [is] the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.
