It is under such
discipline that the soul is mellowed to a loving submission that
calmly says, I can do all things, bear all things, through Christ
who strengtheneth me. As gradually the dross of the old nature is
consumed, and the gold becomes more and more manifest, these
precious souls become ever dearer to their loving Lord. So dear are
they to Him that in every affliction He is near with His grace to
sustain and His presence to cheer; and the deepest shades of sorrow
become memory’s most hallowed resting places, where the Day Star
shines the brightest. |
