June 17: Christian Fellowship.
Joyfully Putting Others First.
Yes, and if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.--Philippians 2:17, 18, NKJV
GOD DOES NOT ACCEPT the most splendid service unless self is laid upon the altar, a living, consuming sacrifice.--Testimonies for the Church, vol. 7, 248.
Not one nook or corner of the soul is to be a hiding place for selfishness. God desires that heaven's plan shall be carried out, and heaven's divine order and harmony prevail, in every family, in every church, in every institution. Did this love leaven society, we should see the outworking of noble principles of Christian refinement and courtesy, and in Christian charity toward the purchase of the blood of Christ.--Testimonies for the Church, vol. 8, 139.
It was to give in His own life an illustration that Jesus came in the form of humanity. And all who accept this principle are to be workers together with Him in demonstrating it in practical life.--Education, 154.
We cannot be happy while we are wrapped up in our interest for ourselves....If we injure others, we injure ourselves also. If we bless others, we also bless ourselves; for the influence of every good deed is reflected upon our own hearts.--Testimonies for the Church, vol. 4, 71.
In order to be happy ourselves, we must live to make others happy. It is well for us to yield our possessions, our talents, and our affections in grateful devotion to Christ, and in that way find happiness here and immortal glory hereafter.--Testimonies for the Church, vol. 3, 250.
