Personal Growth

Anonymous

It would be a very solemn thing to work merely for others while neglecting our own souls. Whilst we should be simple in our ministry, as far as possible, we should ever be apprehending more of God’s mind for ourselves. We cannot neglect any part of it without damage, and especially should we know His mind for the present dispensation, and for the far end of it too! To be in the mind of Christ (1 Cor. 2:16) is the normal condition of the believer, as indwelt by the Spirit of God. Practically, this involves being led of the Spirit, the heart being engaged with the Lord Himself where He is, in that personal communion from whence alone all true service, as all walk for and with Him, has its spring. May we be much in His presence, for the soul’s joy, and for the true learning His mind as expressed in the inspired Word.^[1]
