Patience, Faith, and Hope
By George B. Vosburgh
BE patient. Keep sweet. Do not fret or worry. Do your best, and leave results with God. Believe firmly in God, in the fulfillment of his purposes, and in the march of his providences. God's laws are immutable, and work with undeviating regularity. Walk in fellowship with God, and every year you will be a stronger, better, happier, and sweeter man. Do not mar your peace or power by needless worry. Live by faith in the Son of God, who loves you and gave himself for you. On some bright tomorrow you will come to anchor under a heaven of sapphire, and a harbor of calm, with chimes ringing their welcome from the spires that sentinel the city of God, while from the battlements millions will shout, “Well done!” while God himself will say, “Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.”— George B. Vosburgh. “THE pleasantest things in the world are pleasant thoughts, and the greatest art in life is to have as many of them as possible.”
