What They Said

“Christian, remember always the secret of success in the sore, conflict you have to wage. Let "the joy of the Lord" be "your strength." Apart from Christ there is nothing but defeat. You may resolve to do better, you may strive against your besetting sin, but if it be in your own might you will fail. But draw near to Christ, and keep Him in view continually. Hide deep in your heart His own word of promise—"My grace is sufficient for thee, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Fly to Him as your stronghold, whenever danger is at hand. Make Him your shield, when the shafts of the wicked one are aimed for your destruction.

"Nay, we have a Saviour who has known our sorrows, and by His tears can heal every wound that sin hath made. "In all their affliction He was afflicted." He has wept with those that wept, as He rejoiced with those that did rejoice. And He is still the same. We can think of the tears He shed more than eighteen centuries ago, and know that at this hour He is the same loving and sympathizing Friend."
