ENCOURAGING WORDS

Use all within your reach to distinguish Christ. It is wonderful that we should have the Spirit of Christ, so that Christ should be produced in us.

^[p. 313] You are kept, whatever the condition of things in the world, by the power of attachment to Christ; you are saved, are in liberty and find pasture.

In christianity the principle is that you get what you are prepared for; if you seek, you will find; and if you ask, it will be given to you. People get what they want: it is all a question of asking and seeking. We pray for a good many things, but the question is, Do you want them? If you really want things, you will get them.

It is by the Comforter that Christ makes Himself real to us. There is no solid comfort to be found outside of Christ: real comfort and strength are only found in what He is to us. Though He be absent, having gone to prepare a place for us, yet none the less His heart is down here. If the heart of Christ be down here, He Himself is not far distant, and He puts Himself in evidence to those who love Him, by the Comforter.
