THE LIGHT OF THE GLORY

I do not think it necessary for a christian to suffer bereavements in order to learn sorrow. It is true that bereavement gives a very positive impression to the soul; but I am sure if our consciences were more exercised, the daily failures and small incongruities of ^[p. 127] life would greatly solemnise and impart to us a holier depression than any amount of personal grief. There is nothing more important than to mark how differently things look according to the light they are seen in. If we were to walk in the ‘beam of light’, how we should judge and feel about everything down here!

I was cheered today in seeing that the light of the glory (Mark 9) concentrated the vision on the Lord. And I think that is the light that enables us to see “every man clearly”. The light that shows Him will show every other in his true place.

How the Lord was disappointed in the fig-tree, which illustrates that nature could never meet His expectations; but God will! “Have faith in God”, and whatever you desire, if you believe you shall have!
