A Hairbreadth Away

No man is ever abandoned and left to himself. Whether alone on a desert island, or in the greater loneliness of city life, there is with him a multitude of resources upon which, if he will, he can lay hold. “Heaven is only a hairbreadth away, and all its powers are with me,” writes Jowett in his wonderfully searching prayer-thoughts, “Yet Another Day.” How much better that is than if our bank account were unlimited, or our health perfect, or every temporal blessing for which we long were realized! For we can cross that hairbreadth and live in the kingdom of heaven now and here; and we can enjoy all its powers that we are willing to use. Heaven’s citizenship and heaven’s resources are given to us for immediate use in to-day’s struggle, and there can be only one outcome to the struggle for every one who claims his own.—Sunday School Times.
