Short Pieces.?W. F. B.

 
“I AM the Bread of life,” said Christ—not your enjoyment of it, however sweet.
WE often think more of the sugar of enjoyment, spread in love on the bread of promise, than of the promise itself; but our strength is to come from the bread and not the sweetness.
CHRIST will make us prize Himself more than His best gifts.
THE Spirit of God does not comfort us apart from Christ, but brings us nearer to Him—true comfort always leads to this.
WE often want to be comforted to believe, forgetting that we must believe to be comforted.
