When Comfort Is Withdrawn, Do Not Be

He Will Be With You Also, All The Way, That Faithful God. Every Morning When You Awaken To The Old And Tolerable Pain, At Every Mile Of The Hot Uphill Dusty Road Of Tiring Duty, On To The Judgment Seat, The Same Christ There As Ever, Still Loving You, Still Sufficient For You, Even Then. And Then, On Through All Eternity.

There Is No Man In This World Without Some Manner Of Tribulation Or Anguish, Though He Be King Or Pope.

Simplicity Is The Intention, Purity In The Affection; Simplicity Turns To God, Purity Unites With And Enjoys Him.

Christ Willed To Suffer And Be Despised And Do You Dare Complain Of The Same? Christ Had Adversaries And Backbiters; And Do You Wish To Have All Men Your Friends And Benefactors? When Shall Your Patience Attain Her Crown If No Adversity Befalls You? If You Are Willing To Suffer Naught That Is Against You, How Will You Be The Friend Of Christ?

If Your Heart Were Sincere And Upright, Every Creature Would Be Unto You A Looking-glass Of Life And A Book Of Holy Doctrine.
