Have you never observed, when a little child has been in very deep distress, if a stranger has attempted to compose and comfort him, that all his efforts have only increased the anguish of the child, but that as soon as he has heard his father’s voice, and felt his father’s embrace, his sorrows have been hushed, and a smile of gladness has lighted up his countenance?
Child of God! your heavenly Father will not leave it to strangers to comfort you. He will not suffer a servant’s hand rudely to touch His child.
God Himself shall wipe away all tears from your eyes.
