Paul had to say, "I have no man like-minded who will care for your state, for all seek their own and not the things which are Jesus Christ's;" notwithstanding this, Paul recognized that he was in t scene where God was at work, and he took heart, because of that. If we look round, we see a strange contrast between what Christians are now and what they once were-but still, God is evidently at work; seen too, if Christians will but look up above all circumstances to the love of Christ's heart. Nothing could take us out of Christ's heart. Paul was able to be in deaths oft, able to face the boldest adversaries; the love of Christ came out in this way-and it makes us more than conquerors; things that distract us do not distract Him, and nothing shall be able to separate us from Him and His face.
