SA 58:1{He does not merely show us; it is something more than that. It is not merely an invisible hand drawing away a veil from hidden scenes, and a light brought to bear upon them, so that we can see them if we will; it is more personal, more terrible, and yet more tender than that. He tells us what we have done, and, if we listen, the telling will be very clear, very thorough, very unmistakable. At first we are tempted not to listen at all; we shrink from the still, small voice which tells us so startlingly unwelcome things. Many feel what one expressed: "Whenever I do think about it, I feel so horribly bad that I don't like to think any more." Ah, "if thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day" that it was not mere thinking about it, but the voice of the Savior beginning to tell thee what would have cleared the way for "the things which belong unto thy peace," what blessing might not the patient and willing listening have brought! Oh, do not stifle the voice, do not fancy it is only uncomfortable thoughts which you will not encourage lest they should make you low-spirited. Instead of that, ask Him to let His voice sound louder and clearer, and believe "that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance.”
Peace, peace!
The word of the Lord to thee.
Peace, for thy passion and restless pride.
For thy endless cravings all unsupplied,
Peace for thy weary and sin worn breast;
He knows the need who has promised rest,
And the gift Is free.
