Priorities

"Lo, I am with you always..." (Mt. 28:20). If we know that Jesus is with us, every power will be developed, and every grace will be strengthened, and we will cast ourselves into the Lord's service with heart, soul, and strength; therefore is the presence of Christ to be desired above all things.  His presence will be more realized by those who are most like him. If you desire to see Christ, you must grow in conformity to him. Bring yourself, by the power of the Spirit, into union with Christ's desires, and motives, and plans of action, and you are likely to be favoured with his company. Remember, his presence may be had. -- Charles Spurgeon
