Do you find yourself constantly praying for the church of God? Has it as large a place in your prayers as your own trials and difficulties? Do you say, " I know that all is working together for good as to my troubles, but how can -I help praying for that which is so precious, so beautiful to Christ? I cannot give it a secondary place in my thought. -I am going to live for it, in the same way that Paul did."
It is marvelous if you and I are walking in the power of the eternal life, what a quick scent it gives. If anyone goes into a dark room with a lantern he sees everything in that room which could not be seen without the light. Believers are vessels to carry the light of the glory of God which shines in them from the face of Jesus Christ, in dark places.
