[Songs in the Night - August 3]
The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn thee. Jeremiah 31:3
THE whole world is seeking for happiness.
The few
who have truly found Jesus, and who have made a
full consecration of their hearts to him, and to whom
he has given the water of life—these few have found
the happiness which the world is seeking in other
directions in vain.
They have found a heart satisfaction
which is able even to offset trials, sorrows, difficulties
and disappointments from other sources, and to glory
in this realization, that their experiences are working
to their advantage, proving them, preparing them for
still greater riches of glory by and by. Z'05-31 R3496:4 (Hymn 129)
