Not Only The Guilt, But

We Serve A Gracious Master Who Knows How To Overrule Even Our Mistakes To His Glory And Our Own Advantage.

We Can Easily Manage If We Will Only Take, Each Day, The Burden Appointed To It. But The Load Will Be Too Heavy For Us If We Carry Yesterday's Burden Over Again Today, And Then Add The Burden Of The Morrow Before We Are Required To Bear It.

How Sweet The Name Of Jesus Sounds In A Believer's Ear! It Soothes His Sorrows, Heals His Wounds, And Drives Away His Fear.

I Make It A Rule Of Christian Duty Never To Go To A Place Where There Is Not Room For My Master As Well As Myself.

I Compare The Troubles Which We Have To Undergo In The Course Of The Year To A Great Bundle Of Sticks, Far Too Large For Us To Lift. But God Does Not Require Us To Carry The Whole At Once. He Mercifully Unties The Bundle, And Gives Us First One Stick, Which We Are To Carry Today, And Then Another, Which We Are To Carry Tomorrow, And So On. This We Might Easily Manage, If We Would Only Take The Burden Appointed For Us Each Day; But We Choose To Increase Our Troubles By Carrying Yesterday's Stick Over Again Today, And Adding Tomorrow's Burden To Our Load, Before We Are Required To Bear It.
