[Songs in the Night - August 17]
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. I John 3:18
THIS is a personal matter.
Each one of us is under
this testing.
If not yet, sooner or later, undoubtedly,
this willingness to sacrifice in the interests of the
brethren will prove each one of us either loyal, faithful
to our covenant, or contrariwise—unfaithful.
Let
us make this matter of love for the brethren and laying
down our lives for the brethren a matter of personal
study and of practical application to our own
hearts, minds, thoughts, words, actions.
And let us
pray for one another, as well as exhort one another
along these lines, striving to be filled with our Master's
Spirit. Z'16-261 R5948:5 (Hymn 166)
