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. |
