Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him... Psalm 37:7
"Jesus preached the truth faithfully, affectionately, earnestly, practicing self-denial;
Q: and did the world flock to his banner?--
A: No; when did truth ever meet with more stern and positive rejection than at the time of Christ?
If we place ourselves in right relation to God,
--that we may teach the truth,
--practice the truth,
--and become sanctified through it,
*we shall not always meet with success in our efforts for others;
we shall have to trust the result with God, and not drive ourselves to the brink of despair because men will harden their hearts and reject the plainest declaration of the Scriptures."
E.G.W.
