loyal servants to Christ--the true perspective

"Having the right perspective and following through with that perspective are two different things, but it is the right start. The only way a perspective can succeed is for it to always be in mind. ... The true motive for getting things into the right perspective is not fear, dread or blind compulsion. It is the master principle of love... any other motive will fail and eventually the disciple becomes disgruntled and half-hearted. But when they are love-impulsed, and inspired by what the King has done for our sakes, they favor his cause gladly, happy to be his bond-servants and heavily weighted in his favor. They are not dragging themselves after him, resentful and lukewarm. They follow him with joy and give him their allegiance in the everyday things of the Truth without demur. Loyal for love's sake: this is the true perspective."
