June 11: Christian Fellowship.
Promoting the Welfare of Others.
Therefore we have been comforted in your comfort. And we rejoiced exceedingly more for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.--2 Corinthians 7:13, NKJV
THE WARMTH OF TRUE FRIENDSHIP, the love that binds heart to heart, is a foretaste of the joys of heaven.--The Ministry of Healing, 360.
Every soul is surrounded by an atmosphere of its own--an atmosphere, it may be, charged with the life-giving power of faith, courage, and hope, and sweet with the fragrance of love. Or it may be heavy and chill with the gloom of discontent and selfishness, or poisonous with the deadly taint of cherished sin. By the atmosphere surrounding us, every person with whom we come in contact is consciously or unconsciously affected.--Christ's Object Lessons, 339.
The life of Christ was an ever-widening, shoreless influence, an influence that bound Him to God and to the whole human family. Through Christ, God has invested man with an influence that makes it impossible for him to live to himself. Individually we are connected with our fellow men, a part of God's great whole, and we stand under mutual obligations. No man can be independent of his fellow men; for the well-being of each affects others. It is God's purpose that each shall feel himself necessary to others' welfare, and seek to promote their happiness.--Christ's Object Lessons, 339.
We have been greatly encouraged by this.
In addition to our own encouragement, we were especially delighted
to see how happy Titus was about the way
all of you welcomed him and set his mind at ease.
--2 Corinthians 7:13, NLT
