What is your sorrow? Take your bereaved, stricken and bleeding heart
to Him, and rest it upon His, once bereaved, stricken
and bleeding, too; for He knows how to bind up the
broken heart, to heal the wounded spirit and to
comfort those that mourn.What is your sorrow?Has health failed you?Has property forsaken you?Have friends turned against you?
Are you tried in your circumstances?
Perplexed in your path?
Are providences thickening and darkening around you?
Or Are you anticipating seasons of approaching trial?
Are you walking in darkness, having no light?
Simply go to Jesus. He is an ever open door.
A tender, loving faithful Friend, ever near.
He is a Brother born for your adversity.
His grace and sympathy are sufficient for you.
Go to Him in every trial, cast upon Him
burdens , take the infirmity, the corruption, the
cross as it arises, simply and immediately to Jesus!
Jesus is your loving and confiding Brother and Friend,
to go to at all times and under all circumstances.
Spurgeon, “The Sweet Harp of Consolation” No. 760.
“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.
Do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you. I will help you,
and uphold you with my victorious right hand.”
Isaiah 41:10.
It is not possible for the Christian to be in any
condition in which these words shall not be to him,
universal medicine for all disease,
armor against every weapon,
universal supply of every necessity.
God is with us as a mighty worker– a real
active, potent, faithful, truthful worker, who,
having promised to help us, will help us, and
never leave us nor forsake us until he has
accomplished all his eternal purpose, and
brought us to himself in heaven!
