The Privilege of Approaching the Mercy-Seat

The riches and honors of this life may, in a measure, conduce to our happiness, and relieve our temporal wants, but, ah! how small and fleeting they appear when compared with the sweet privilege of approaching the mercy-seat, there to breathe forth our wants and desires to One who is ever waiting to bless. Do we ever feel that our trials are peculiar, and that we must have sympathy? How painful to rehearse all to an earthly friend; yet we can go and tell Jesus with our hearts; he will understand us, though our lips be sealed with sadness.
