Jenny Lind, the wonderful soprano singer, was born in Sweden in 1820. She was able to sing as soon as she could walk. Jenny Lind moved to England and America by the beauty of her voice, and was called the Swedish Nightingale.
Once when at the height of her popularity in America, she was asked to write a few lines in an album. She wrote:
In vain I seek for rest,
In all created good;
It leaves me still unblest,
And makes me cry for God;
And sure at rest I ne’er can be,
Until my soul finds rest in Thee.
What was true of Jenny Lind is true of each one of us. Have you found the rest which only Christ can give? How many throughout the world today crave rest and peace! Real lasting peace can only be found in the Lord Jesus Christ, who said, “Peace I give unto you.” John 14:2727Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. (John 14:27).
“Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:2828Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28).
“Therefore being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Rom. 5:11Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: (Romans 5:1).
