Never Alone

By Editor

Editorial

The one who enters heaven at last must live in the spirit of heaven while on the earth. The coming of the Lord in the clouds of heaven, or the resurrection at the last day, will work no change in character. The transformation in the character must be wrought through divine grace working in the heart and life. Moment by moment, by the power of the Spirit, the life may be molded after the divine similitude.

Never Alone

The child of God is never alone. He may be cut off from human companionship, and be far from the habitations of men; but the blessed Presence is with him. The promise is, “Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.” No distance can divide, no circumstances separate, the disciple from his Master. He may travel by land or sea to earth’s remotest bounds, he may look into strange faces, and listen to the confused accents of unknown tongues; he may be surrounded by conditions which none of his fellows may understand or appreciate, but Christ is ever by his side. Even more than this, he shares our experiences. He enters into our sorrows and our joys; his great heart of love is touched with all the feeling of our infirmities. His sensitive nature feels alike the thrills of pain and pleasure felt by his children. He sees all, feels all, knows all. Realizing this companionship with his infinite and compassionate Saviour, the disciple may go forth bravely and hopefully to do and dare for his divine Lord.
