THE RELATION OF YOUR SAD STORY touched my heart.
I know you have suffered a severe stroke, but you should not
forget that it is from the hand of the Lord who doeth all things
well. He is too wise to err, and too good to be unkind. Will not
the Lord do right?
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust him for his grace:
Behind a frowning Providence,
He hides a smiling face.
It is true you have suffered a great loss in the death of
your dear, bosom companion, but such is common to mankind.
But it seems a deeper pang than mere mutual
bereavement has pierced your heart. God grant that it may
be so. If there is a peculiar, spiritual sorrow in the affliction
it is from the Lord, and is for a wise purpose. There may be a
wheel within a wheel in the matter. The Lord wounds but to
heal in bringing his chosen ones to a knowledge of the truth
as it is in Jesus. |
