"JESUS is the
keeper of the gates of paradise and before every believing soul He
setteth an open door, which no man or devil shall be able to close
against it.
Q: What joy it will be to find that faith in Him is the golden key to the everlasting doors.
Q: My soul, dost thou carry this key in thy bosom, or art thou trusting to some deceitful pick-lock, which will fail thee at last?
Q: My soul, hast thou gathered the rose of Sharon?
Q: Dost thou wear the lily of the valley in thy bosom constantly?
Thou shalt find thy way with the rose of Sharon in thy hand up to the throne of God Himself, for heaven itself possesses nothing that excels its radiant beauty, and of all the flowers that bloom in paradise there is none that can rival the lily of the valley.
