“Brother, when you rise in the morning, your business so urgent, that with a hurried word or two of prayer, out you go into the world; and at night, worn out and tired, you give God the meager leftovers of the day – the consequence is that you have no communion with Him.

“Brother, take this text home to your heart: When thou dost walk through the fire, thou shalt not be burned. When your troubles are all over, you will still be left standing, and what is more, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. When the winding-up time comes, you will not have lost. While you think you have lost much, you will find when you read Scripture that you only lost shadows. Your substance was always safe, being laid up in Christ’s keeping in heaven. You will see that these trials of yours were the best things that could have happened to you. The day will come when you will say with David, I will sing of mercy and judgment (Psalm 101:1), and Before I was humbled, I went into error, but now I keep thy spoken word (Psalm 119:67).”
