“WELL, Mrs.—, and how are you?”
“Thank you, I’m very well.”
“But is it well with you in the Lord, are you trusting Him?”
“Yes, indeed; how good He has been to me: all through these years has He been looking after me, and now I trust in Him. I bless Him again and again, it’s all so wonderful!”
“Your husband has been a Christian for some time, has he not?”
“He has; and I saw he had got something I hadn’t. For a long time I’d been so miserable, and went on and on, and thought I never should be happy, and my husband would say, ‘Why don’t you believe then?’ and sometimes I’d say, I do,’ and he’d say, ‘No, you don’t, you don’t half believe,’ or, ‘It’s all along of your want of faith.’
“Thus it went on for years, and I was wretched. But last Sunday evening, when we went to the preaching I prayed to God that I might never leave the room without having peace with Him, and He heard me. I came out quite happy, and trusting all to Jesus.”
Mrs.—’s husband and son then came into the room, the son also knowing the Lord as His Saviour, and with much joy we spoke together of Him whom to know is life eternal.
