"Six Weeks Trying"

On visiting a person some time since, who had been led to Christ, we asked the question, "How did you find peace in your soul, of which you now tell me?”
"I carried the heaviest burden that any human did carry 18 years ago. One simple word made me do it —'Try.' But finding it all no good, then I cast myself on the Lord Jesus, and O, what a blessed and wonderful change. Instead of the heavy burden, I have perfect rest. Instead of the weary, anxious `trying,' I am now 'simply trusting.' I wonder I could not have seen it before, it is all so plain and simple, and the Lord does not keep you waiting, He just bids you 'Go in peace,' and that is just what I am doing, taking Him at His blessed word and learning the truth of it.”
May many more than this dear friend change their "trying" to "trusting.”
