The Unchangeable Word Needed.—Frames, feelings, habits, graces and joys ebb and flow. Only Christ abideth the same for ever, and only His unchangeable Word can fix your comfort. Trust it; make it your constant warrant to go to Christ for comfort, and He cannot deny His Word. Do not think, my good friend, I would have you walk mourning and melancholy. No. There is nothing in Christ to make you so. He is all light, life, love and joy, and that without ceasing.—W. Romaine.
When I get to heaven, I shall see three wonders there—the first wonder will be, to see many people there whom I did not expect to see—the second wonder will be, to miss many people whom I did expect to see—and the third, and greatest wonder of all, will be to find myself there.—Rev. John Newton.
