WITH A GLAD RESPONSE
Mark 6:7-13; Mark 6:30
Jesus draws and drives. He draws us irresistibly to himself. His peace sings its soft music within. His love kindles fires on the hearthstone of the heart. So he drives us out; not from him, for him, out to others, nearest and farthest. For love serves. It gives freely. It goes gladly. It sacrifices without thinking of the word. It must serve; that is its life. It can serve; for only love-service is real service.
