THAT WHICH FOREVER SATISFIES
By Eliza H. Morton
OUR restless hearts are never satisfied with earthly things. Such things are transitory and fleeting. God desires us to look away from the changeable to Him alone, and to trust Him completely. In order for us to learn the lesson of utter dependence on that which knows no change, circumstances are permitted to develop that which shows us the frailty of human supports. By means of the coldness and hardness and want of sympathy of those about us, we are led to seek the only true Comforter, the only safe Refuge. God is saying to each one of us: "I know thy inmost heart,
They only know the surface.
Then look to Me alone,
And trust to Me alone,
And trust Me utterly;
So shalt thou know the peace of God,
And be forever satisfied."
