Encouragement

The following letter from an earnest worker has cheered our heart very much indeed, he writes:— Dear Sir,—For this last month I have meant to write to you to tell you how wonderfully God has blessed the “Message from God,” but my time always seems to be occupied, and I get very little time for letter writing; but still when I read your letter in the last “Message from God,” I felt led to drop you these few lines, for my heart goes out in true thankfulness and praise to my Heavenly Father for the wonderful way in which the “Message from God” has been blessed to many a poor dear soldier. About four months ago I was in the habit of sending this little book to a soldier at the Front. It was always a help and comfort to him. One day I was very much surprised to have a letter from his mother to say that he had just met his brother at the Front, and that both had been killed together. She thanked me for sending him the “Message from God,” which had brought salvation to his soul, and now she can say, “The Lord’s will be done.” Another case. About two months ago I spoke to a poor wounded soldier in our village, and while in hospital I sent the “Message from God” to him. He found it such a comfort to his soul that he was obliged to read it over and over again. Other cases I could write about if I had time, but still I never forget you in prayer, that God will so bless you in this noble work, and that you may feel and realize the power of the Holy Spirit working through you, and that you may continue to go forward in this work. I think when we look back upon the past four years there has been much joy in heaven over repenting sinners. I was thinking as I read your letter in the “Message from God” I really did not know which was most wonderful: the Lord’s grace in first calling and saving us, or His grace afterward in continually keeping us, and actually making use of us in His work. God abundantly bless you in all your work and labor of love is the prayer of yours in Him, P. C—
