Comfort

By H. A. STEINHAUER

H. A. STEINHAUER
BRETHREN and sisters in the Lord,—those of you who are in trouble of any kind, be of good cheer! Remember that to the Christian nothing happens; everything is either ordered or permitted; and this by your best Friend, the Lord God Almighty.
If ordered, it must surely be for our good. If simply permitted, it will still be for our good, as “all things work together for good to them that love God.” Rom. 8:28.
And I think I may safely add, that if we love God and lean hard on his supporting arm, sooner or later, when the chiseling necessary is accomplished, our dear, almighty Father will either take the evil thing away, cause it to cease, or so alter circumstances that it may no longer grieve or annoy us. Praise his name!
