I am with you alway. Matt. 28:20.
Lo! I am with thee; bid thy fears
And anxious sorrows cease;
My hands shall dry thy bitter tears,
My lips shall whisper peace. Macduff.
Its not always the bitter tears that flow, but the continual small leaks, like oil spilling slowly from the pan onto the pavement, until one day, we do not start. Spent.
Daily I go about in a state of near tear, always in a quiet, unexpressed prayer, Come Lord! Hear Lord! The desperate clinging, the knowing the oil of joy leaks at a rate faster than the filling.
 John Ross MacDuff | ||
| 1818-1895 Scottish divine and author "For sound doctrine, presented Scripturally and devotionally, with its application to the Christian life, you cannot go beyond MacDuff. MacDuff writes popularly, yet he is by no means shallow. For an hour's pleasant and holy reading, commend us to MacDuff. Charles Spurgeon. |
