He of Tender Conscience

"I will judge between sheep and sheep."

~ Ezekiel 34:22

  "Some are fat and flourishing, and therefore they are unkind to the feeble. This is a grievous sin and causes much sorrow. The Lord takes note of their proud and unkind deeds, and He is greatly angered by them, for He loves the weak.
  Is the reader one of the despaired? Is he a mourner in Zion and a marked man because of his tender conscience? Is he judged harshly by others? Let him not resent their conduct; above all let him not push and thrust in return. Let him leave the matter in the Lord's hands. He is the Judge. Why should we wish to intrude upon His office? He will decide much more righteously than we can. His time for judgment is the best, and we need not be in a hurry to hasten it on.
  Patience, my soul! patience! The Lord knows your grief. your Jesus has pity upon you!
