Don't Worry—Try It This Week
LET no day pass without personal, secret communication with God. Begin each day by taking counsel from the Word of God, if but one verse while you are dressing. Put away all bitter feelings and broodings over slights or wrongs, no matter from whom received. Have on your heart some person or cause for which you are pleading God's blessings each day. Let no opportunity pass to say a kind word, or do some kind deed, or at least smile upon those you meet. Do this, not affectedly, but sincerely, as unto the Lord. Guard well the door of your lips, that no unchaste word, jest, or story, no slander or cutting remarks, no irreverent or untruthful statement, shall pass out. Remember each day that Christ will surely come, suddenly come, quickly come; and, it may be, this day will determine how his coming will find us, as it must find thousands.—Way of Faith.
