THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

By F. R. Havergal

My Master, they have wronged Thee and Thy love! They only told me I should find the path A Via Dolorosa all the way. Narrow indeed it is. O, why Should they misrepresent Thy words, and make “Narrow” synonymous with “very hard”? For Thou, divinest Wisdom, Thou hast said Thy ways are ways of pleasantness, and all Thy paths are peace; and that the path of him Who wears Thy perfect robe of righteousness Is as the light that shineth more and more Unto the perfect day. And Thou hast given An olden promise, rarely quoted now, Because it is too bright for our weak faith: “If they obey and serve Him, they shall spend Days in prosperity, and they shall spend Their years in pleasure.”
—F. R. Havergal.
