Get Ready

Hello my dear student! How are you now, I hope that everything is fine especially in your studies through the guidance of God. Our last lesson is about “The Clientele in Counseling” and now we have a new lesson, “Processes, Services, and Methods in Counseling.” But before anything else, please meditate first God’s word.

During World War II, Hitler commanded all religious groups to unite so that he could control them. Among the Brethren assemblies, half complied and half refused. Those who went along with the order had a much easier time. Those who did not, faced harsh persecution. In almost every family of those who resisted, someone died in a concentration camp. When the war was over, feelings of bitterness ran deep between the groups and there was much tension. Finally, they decided that the situation had to be healed. Leaders from each group met at quiet retreat. For several days, each person spent time in prayer, examining his heart in the light of Christ’s commands. They came together. Francis Schaeffer, who told of the incident, asked a friend who was there, “what did you do then?” “We were just one,” he replied. As they confessed their hostility and bitterness to God and yielded to his control, the Holy Spirit created a spirit of unity among them. Love filled their hearts and dissolved their hatred. When love prevails among believers, especially in times of strong disagreement, it presents to the world an indisputable ark of a true follower of Jesus Christ.
