"ALL THINGS ARE YOURS."

By W. L. Coffee

BY W. L. COFFEE.
DEAR brother or sister, are you passing through temptation, and trial, and is the enemy of souls trying all his arts to ensnare you? Remember this is one of the all things, that are yours. Do you sometimes feel almost discouraged, and fear that at the last you will fail to gain the celestial city? Discouragements, trials, and temptations, "all are yours." Do you realize your own weakness and proneness to sin? then cling more closely to the source of all strength, and hide in the "Cleft Rock," for this also is yours. Do those who are near and dear to you fail you in the hour of need, and pass you by unnoticed? "There is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother," and this friend also is yours. And then when all the conflict is ended, and the trials are all in the past, if you have overcome in them all, the victory also shall be yours. Although you may have to pass through the dark portals of the tomb, yet if you have a part in the first resurrection, eternal life shall be yours. Then shall you realize, as you cannot while here, the fullness of this promise, "All things are yours."
