June 4: Christian Fellowship.
Let Us Make Others Happy.
Being confident of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith.--Philippians 1:25, NKJV
FROM THE ANOINTED ONES that stand in God's presence the fullness of divine light and love and power is imparted to His people, that they may impart to others light and joy and refreshing. Those who are thus enriched are to enrich others with the treasure of God's love.--Prophets and Kings, 594.
Religion is founded upon love to God, which also leads us to love one another. It is full of gratitude, humility, long-suffering, forbearing, merciful, and forgiving. It sanctifies the whole life and extends its influence over others.
Those who love God cannot harbor hatred or envy. When the heavenly principle of eternal love fills the heart, it will flow out to others, not merely because favors are received of them, but because love is the principle of action and modifies the character, governs the impulses, controls the passions, subdues enmity, and elevates and ennobles the affections. This love is not contracted so as merely to include "me and mine," but is as broad as the world as high as heaven, and is in harmony with that of the angel workers. This love cherished in the soul sweetens the entire life and sheds a refining influence on all around. Possessing it, we cannot but be happy, let fortune smile or frown.--Testimonies for the Church, vol. 4, 223.
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you
with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power.
--Ephesians 3:16-18, NIV
