"CONSOLATION"!

I do not know what you have been through this week, but Jesus does--and He delights in reaching down His hand to help you through!
I trust this lovely poem, titled simply with one word by an unknown author -- "Consolation" -- will be a blessing and an encouragement to you as you prepare your heart for the coming Lord's Day if Jesus tarries.

     "There is never a day so dreary but God can make it bright,
And unto the soul that trusts Him, He giveth songs in the night.
      There is never a path so hidden but God can lead the way,
If we seek the Spirit's guidance and patiently wait and pray.

      There is never a cross so heavy but the nail-scarred hands are there,
Outstretched in tender compassion, the burden to help us bear.
      There is never a heart so broken but the Loving Lord can heal --
The heart that was pierced on Calvary doth still for His loved ones feel.

      There is never a life so darkened, so hopeless and unblessed
But may be filled with the light of God and enter His promised rest.
      There is never a sin or a sorrow, there is never a care or a loss--
But that we may bring it to Jesus and leave it at the foot of the Cross!"

      Heartaches?  Give them all to Jesus!
