For their sakes i sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. John 17:19. One thing is certain, that while there is anything between you and your Lord you can only weaken others. You cannot uplift them. When they are low, you will bring them lower. When they feel heavy, your coming will only add to their heaviness. Instead of being an asset in the fellowship of God's people you will contribute nothing, but rather detract from its strength. But if all is clear between you and Him the reverse is true. Your very presence can be a benediction, bringing reshness to those who are jaded and adding life to the whole worship of the saints, to their prayers and to theri praises. Maintain a vital touch with God yourself, and you may well be used to restore that same vital touch with Him to those who may seem to have lost it. ----- Robert W.
