BE PATIENT.

By McDonald

You are tender-hearted, and you want to be true and are trying to be—learn these two things; never be discouraged because good things get on so slowly here; and never fail daily to do that good which lies next to your hand. Do not be in a hurry, but be diligent. Enter into the sublime patience of the Lord. Be charitable in view of it. God can afford to wait; why cannot we, since we have him to fall back upon? Let patience have her perfect work, and bring forth her celestial fruits. Trust to God to weave your little thread into a great web, though the patterns show it not yet. When God's people are able and willing thus to labor and wait, remember, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and the thousand years shall show themselves as a perfect and finished day.—McDonald.
