In a great institution for the handicapped, one of the inmates is remarkable for her happy outlook. She suffers under a triple affliction, being blind, deaf and dumb. The only way of communicating with her is by the touch, through her fingers.
One day a Christian visitor asked her to express the hope that carried her above her sad affliction. She at once spelled on her fingers these texts of Scripture: "I have learned in whatsoever state I am therewith to be content." "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
Truly the knowledge of Christ compensates. To have Him as Savior, Companion and Lord is to have "peace that passeth understanding" and "joy unspeakable and full of glory." To be without Him is loss eternally.
