[Songs in the Night - June 23] < >
Walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love. Ephesians 4:1, 2
WE SHOW our appreciation of God's mercy toward
us by schooling ourselves in his character and becoming
more and more merciful and generous toward all
the household of faith.
And if merciful toward the
brethren, naturally we would be generous also toward
all men.
In other words, as we remember and appreciate
our own weaknesses and blemishes, it will make
us sympathetic with the brethren and with all mankind.
And mercy, generosity, sympathy, God delights
in.
Such as cultivate these graces of the Spirit will be
pleasing in the Lord's sight, and they will thereby be
fitted and prepared to have a share with Jesus in his
throne of glory; for that great messianic kingdom will
be established for the very purpose of showing mercy
unto thousands of mankind, who will return to divine
favor and blessing, under clearer knowledge and with
the assistance that will then be afforded. Z'12-359 R5135:2 (Hymn 63)
