“LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED.”
By N. P. Neilsen
RINGING down through the ages come the cheering words from the lips of the Saviour of mankind, “Let not your heart be troubled.” Perplexity, trouble and distress are found on every hand, but “let not your heart be troubled.” Anchor your soul in Jesus. He speaks peace to the troubled heart. The storms of life may rage, the billows of sorrow roll, and the waters of trouble sweep over your head, but listen to the cheering words: “Let not your heart be troubled.” “Come unto Me, . . . and rest.” Sweet indeed is this rest, buried in the depths of the soul beyond the reach of the rising tide! When men’s hearts are failing them for fear, “and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth” remember the blessed words, “Let not your heart be troubled;” and, unruffled by the troublous times, you can sweetly rest in the Saviour’s love. Trembling soul, take courage! The Saviour loves His own. He loves them unto the end. Soon the dark night of sin will be ended, and the eternal reign of peace be ushered in. Then you may rest in the city of God and the storms will rage no more.
