To ASSUME that all persons working in a certain line should be controlled by me or by some organization which I control, is the assumption of selfishness. And yet Satan makes men believe that only so can the work of God be kept from going to pieces. My way is successful, my way is therefore right, and, therefore, again, men ought to be compelled, “peaceably if we may, forcibly if we must,” to work in my way, which, of course, means under my direction. Such ideas are born in selfishness and unbelief—selfishness in thinking that I am superior to others, that God has committed to me what He will not to them except through me, and unbelief in the wonderful, gracious, and all-comprehending wisdom and power of God by which He is able to direct and provide for His own work. The words of Jesus are, “One is your Master, even Christ, and all ye are brethren.” The words of His apostle are, “The head of every man is Christ.” In organized work it is generally necessary for some one or more to exercise general direction, so as to unify undeveloped human efforts and assist the uninstructed; but that direction ought to be so general, the lines of boundary so suggestive and flexible, that the Spirit of God in the heart of every individual worker could exercise all its life-giving force and expansion. Give room for God to direct. We are small and limited; God must have many through whom to manifest His manifold wisdom and grace.
