A young Christian thinks that he has fully tasted at first that which is in himself and that which is in Christ; but an old Christian can say, " Every day I see more of my own evil and of Christ's love; but in spite of all my waywardness, He never changes. If I am where I am, it is because the Lord. Christ is the same yesterday, to-day, and forever. I look not at my own experience, but my faith is in God whose Son, at His right hand, never changes." Yes, clouds may roll around us down here, but we ought to have a happy face and a bright heart, always able to rejoice in the Lord.
I may slip out of my body, but what of that? I shall find Christ on the throne, the same yesterday, to-day, and forever. If it comes to the thought that He is up in heaven and I down here; well! there can be no separation. I am one spirit with Him, one life with Him. I might give Him up, but He will not let me go; because He is there, I must be there, for He has made me obedient to faith.
