A YOUNG man of fine talents and capabilities for an active life, was paralyzed and left crippled for life, before he had reached thirty years of age. After having been in this condition for some years, a friend who had called to see him was bemoaning his sad fate, and his helplessness. The young man slowly rained his withered hand, and with great earnestness exclaimed, “God makes no mistakes!”
How noble, such an owning of God’s! None but a heart taught of could thus express itself. Eternal gain comes through temporal loss, to those who bow under the mighty hand of God.
Do you submit, dear reader, or do you murmur when trial comes?
“Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”
