HAVE you never observed, when a little child has been in very deep distress, if a stranger has attempted to compose and comfort him, that all his efforts have only increased the anguish of the child; but that as soon as he has heard his father’s voice, and felt his father’s embrace, his sorrows have been hashed, and a smile of gladness has lighted up his countenance?
Child of God! your heavenly Father will not leave it to strangers to comfort you. He will not suffer a stranger’s hand rudely to touch His child. “GOD HIMSELF shall wipe away all tears from your eyes.”
