REPROOF does not hurt the Christian; even the reproaches of a Shimei are received with humility, as permitted of God for wise designs.
If we are in danger of murmuring because we have so little of the good things of this life, let us overcome it by giving a part of our little to some one more needy than ourselves. Gloomy, despondent feelings are often dispelled by dispensing kindness to those who are in circumstances of real want and sorrow.
It would be better to be less sensitive to the scorn and hatred of the world, and far more sensitive to the dictates of God's word, and the calls of his Spirit.
