"How often do we come in contact with people who are never happy. They fail of enjoying the contentment and peace that Jesus can give. They profess to be Christians but they do not comply with the conditions upon which the promise of God is fulfilled. Jesus has said, "Come unto me. . . . Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light" (Matt. 11:28-30). The reason why many are in a state of unrest is that they are not learning in the school of the Master.
Life's best things--
simplicity,
honesty,
truthfulness,
purity,
unsullied integrity--
are not to be bought or sold.
They are free to the illiterate as to the educated,
to the white man as to the black man,
to the poor man as to the king upon his throne. . . .
In the field of life we are all sowing seeds.
As we sow, so shall we reap.
--Those who sow self-love, bitterness, jealousy, will reap a like harvest. --Those who sow unselfish love, kindness, tender thoughtfulness for the feelings of others, will reap a precious harvest."
That I May Know Him p.85 E.G.W.
