In reading the Gospels I am very much struck with the way in which every hour of the time of the Lord Jesus is filled up. There is no " loitering " in the path of the Blessed One through the world; no seeking (like we seek) for ease: life with Him is taken up with the untiring activities of love. He lives not for Himself: God and man have all His thoughts and all His care. If He seeks for solitude, it is to be alone with His Father. Does He seek for society? it is to be about His Father's business. By night or day He is always the same-on the Mount of Olives praying, in the Temple teaching, in the midst of sorrow comforting, or where sickness is, healing; every act declares Him to be the One who lives for others. He has a joy in God, man cannot understand-a care for man, that only God could show. You never find Him acting for Himself. If hungry in the wilderness, He works no miracle to supply His own need; but if others are hungering around Him, the compassion of His heart flows forth, and He feeds them by thousands.
Oh! that we were more like Him!
