‘To move for the Lord involves a certain cost. Moving involves not only our jobs, our businesses, our homes, our families, our schooling, and other matters but also the paying of a price. We must consider what we are on the earth for. We are here not for our job, schooling, or home but for the Lord’s recovery. Therefore, it is worthwhile to pay the price to move.

The price we pay by migrating cannot compare with the Christ we will gain. When you pay one hundred dollars in order to buy a diamond that is worth one thousand dollars, you do not feel that you are paying too high a price. Likewise, if we pay the price to move for the Lord’s present testimony, we will gain the unsearchably rich Christ as our everything. We may say that this is to strike a “holy bargain” (Hymns, #473).

The day of the Lord’s coming back is approaching. Since the day of His return is very close, we should not waste our time seeking individualistic spirituality. Instead, we should enter into the flow of the Body of Christ. It is worthwhile to enter into this flow. By entering into the Lord’s flow, we will gain Christ as our everything. Everything depends on His flow. We should not worry about our future, for it is in the Lord’s hands. If we enter into His flow, He will take care of our future.’
