Support and Understanding.
So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses, and He said: "Is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he can speak well. And look, he is also coming out to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart."--Exodus 4:14, NKJV
THE DESIRE FOR LOVE and sympathy is implanted in the heart by God Himself. Christ, in His hour of agony in Gethsemane, longed for the sympathy of His disciples....Paul, though apparently indifferent to hardship and suffering, yearned for sympathy and companionship.--The Acts of the Apostles, 491.
While we should cultivate sociability, let it not be merely for amusement, but for a higher purpose.--Gospel Workers, 125.
All our associations with our fellow mortals should be with reference to their eternal interest and to our own.--Testimonies for the Church, vol. 4, 236.
We may associate together...and do all to the glory of God....From all these pleasant associations, we want to be gathering new strength to become better men and women. From every source possible we want to gather new courage, new strength, new power, that we may elevate our lives to purity and holiness, and not come down upon the low level of this world.--Testimonies for the Church, vol. 2, 586, 587.
Then the Lord's anger burned against Moses and he said,
"What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well.
He is already on his way to meet you, and he will be glad to see you."
--Exodus 4:14, NIV
