It gave me great pleasure to receive a letter from the wife of S. F. An extract from his letter appeared in March “Message,” where in faith he could write, through God’s sustaining grace, “Anchored deep.” His wife writes that he is still away, a little better in himself, but no change in his condition. My heart was deeply touched at the words she writes in her sorrow—that the doctor tells her of the good work her loved husband is doing amongst the men, how he is helping them, and she writes: “I am glad, because I think the Lord has appointed him to work amongst the poor men. Glory be to His holy name. I have committed him to His care.”
Dear fellow believer, what a rest for our hearts when we commit all our lives, our loved ones, into God’s care, and know from His own blessed word “All things work together for good to ‘them that love God.”
My friend continues: “I can rejoice, when I think our Lord is coming, and the time, it will not be long, when all worry will be past... I am trusting in Him, who holds us in the hollow of His hands.”
How blessed thus to trust Him, the God of all comfort, who comforteth us in all our tribulation. Well may we give thanks to God who “giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” A. A. L.
