Life’s Unbalanced Accounts

LIFE is a reckoning which cannot be made twice over. To-day's work, good, bad or indifferent, is sealed up with the nightfall, and to-morrow brings its own work to be done and accounts to be settled, leaving no place in which to make amends for past failures. This makes life truly a serious business, and when we have done our best, it is all too full of unbalanced accounts. To the humble, believing soul, however, one great comfort and inspiration comes in the assurance that there is forgiveness with God, and that we shall enter the paradise of God, not for our own good deeds, but for Jesus's sake.—Sabbath Recorder.
