George Müller was a 19th Century evangelist and, most notably, caretaker of orphans in England. It is said Müller cared for more than 10,000 orphans simply on prayer and generosity of donors. Müller had a deep devotional life before the face of God, as well. Today, I came across this undated devotional from George Müller. I pray this is an encouragement to you.
On the Way to the Father's House
We are to love those who do not care in the least for us. We are to love those who do not walk with us on the road to Heaven, and whom we have never seen or heard of; that is the will of our heavenly Father regarding us.
We ought to look lovingly on weak disciples, and you and I, instead of looking at their weakness and shortcomings, ought to seek to find out Christ in them. If we do so, we shall find how dear they will become to our hearts, and we shall love them.
How deeply important to keep this before us in the divine life, that we manifest the mind of Christ. Just as that Blessed One sought not to please Himself, but to be the servant of others, so have we to imitate that Blessed One.
Though not yet perfect in love, we are to aim after that for which we have been apprehended of God in Christ Jesus. We ought to love one another in spite of the weaknesses and infirmities we see in one another.
We are left here to be representatives of the Lord Jesus Christ in this world. This great honour He has bestowed upon us here.
God is love, and he who loves most is most like God. All the members of the heavenly family should remember the precious blood that bought them, and love one another whilst on the way to their Father's house.
