It means that you are to let go of the lesser, in order that you may grasp the whole, in which the lesser is included. We need to take our eyes off the ends of the branches, the results, and keep them centered in the vine. You are a vessel for some purpose. These works will be done without effort on your part, because they will be God, omnipotent, omniscient, manifesting Himself through you in His own chosen direction. The same Spirit, always and forever the same, and one God, one Spirit, but in different forms of manifestation.
Love never faileth.
But all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will. But the going down would only mean a mighty coming up, a most glorious resurrection of God into visibility through you in His own chosen way, right here and now. The failure, for the time, would only mean a grand, glorious success a little later on. But had He not seemed to fail right at that point, there never would have been the infinitely grander demonstration of the Ressurrection a little later on. Your greatest work will be done in your own God-appointed channel.
