True, it was “a sweet message” sent by loving thought and prayerful action. I was lying still upon my bed, ill and helpless, when a post card came, with the blessed words “She whom Thou lovest is sick,” and just as Martha and Mary sent those careful words from Bethany to our dear Lord, so my loving friend penned these words to me — “She whom Thou lovest is sick.” “Whom Thou lovest.” Ah yes, if He loves me, what need I fear, what need I want more, filling my lonely spirit with His love, joy and peace in believing. Day or night, moment by moment, He is with this sick one in her need. He loves me, unworthy, sinful, and I, I deeply love Him and rejoice to bear His precious will.
