Christ will impart to His messengers the same yearning love that He Himself has in seeking for the lost. We are not merely to say, "Come." There are those who hear the call, but their ears are too dull to take in its meaning. Their eyes are too blind to see anything good in store for them. Many realize their great degradation. They say, I am not fit to be helped; leave me alone. But the workers must not desist. In tender, pitying love, lay hold of the discouraged and helpless ones. Give them your courage, your hope, your strength. By kindness compel them to 236 come. "Of some have compassion, making a difference; and others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire." Jude 22, 23.

Kristus vil give sine sendebud den samme inderlige kærlighed, hvormed han selv søger efter de fortabte. Vi skal ikke nøjes med at sige "Kom!" Der er nogle, som hører kaldet, men deres ører er for sløve til at forstå, hvad det betyder Deres øjne er for blinde til at se, at der er noget godt i vente for dem. Mange er klar over deres dybe fornedrelse. De siger: "Jeg er ikke værd at hjælpe, lad mig være i fred." Men Guds tjenere må ikke give op. Prøv at opmuntre de forsagte og hjælpeløse med ømhed og inderlig kærlighed. Giv dem dit mod, dit håb, din styrke. Nød dem med venlighed til at komme. "Der er nogle, som I skal være barmhjertige imod: dem, der tvivler; frels dem, riv dem ud af ilden!"
