He Will Return

"I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you."

                                                                                                              ~ John 14:18

     "He left us, and yet we are not left orphans. Our comfort is that He will come to us, and this is consolation enough to sustain us through His prolonged absence. Jesus is already on His way and none can prevent His coming or put it back for a quarter of an hour. He specially says, "I will come to you," and so He will. His coming is especially to and for His own people.

     When we lose the joyful sense of His presence, we mourn; but we may not sorrow as if there were no hope. Our Lord in a little wrath has hid Himself from us for a moment; but He will return in full favor. He leaves us in a sense, but only in a sense. When He withdraws, He leaves a pledge behind that He will return. O Lord, come quickly!"

He Freely Gives

"He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?"

~ Romans 8:32 

He died for our sins

His blood was shed so

that you and I could

have eternal life with

the Father.

     "This is a conglomerate of promises, a mass of rubies and emeralds and diamonds, with a nugget of gold. It is a question that can never be answered so as to cause us any anxiety. What can the Lord deny us after giving us Jesus? If we need all things in heaven and earth, He will grant them to us: for if there had been a limit anywhere, He would have kept back His own Son.

He sent the Holy Spirit in His

Sons place, to teach us how

to grow spiritually in Him. 

     What you ask for, He will give freely. Of His own will, He gave us His own Son. And because He freely gave His Only Begotten, you can trust your heavenly Father to give you anything, to give you everything. Your poor prayer would have no force with Omnipotence if force were needed; but His love, like a spring, rises of itself and overflows for the supply of all your needs."

Grow Up

You shall go out and grow fat like stall-fed calves.

                                                                                                             ~ Malachi 4:2

     "When the sun shines, the sick quit their chambers, and walked abroad to breathe the fresh air. When the sun brings spring, the cattle quit their stalls and seek pasture on the higher grounds. When we have conscious fellowship with the Lord, we leave the stall of despondency and walk in the fields of holy confidence, feeding on the sweet pasturage that grows nearer heaven.

     To "go forth" and to "grow up" is a double promise. Enjoy both blessings! Why be a prisoner? Arise, and walk at liberty.

     Why remain a babe in grace? Grow up. Young calves grow fast, especially if they are stall-fed; and you have the choice care of your Redeemer. Grow, then, in grace and in knowledge of your Lord and Savior. The Sun of Righteousness has risen upon you. Open your heart, as buds to the sun, expand and grow up into Him in all things."

Never Despair 

"To you who fear My name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings."

~ Malachi 4:2 

     "Is it dark with you? Does the night deepen into a denser blackness? Do not despair: the sun will rise. When the night is darkest, dawn is nearest.

     The sun that will arise is of no common sort. It is the Sun of Righteousness, whose every ray is holiness. Jesus as much displays the holiness of God as His love. Our deliverance, when it comes, will be safe because of His righteousness.

     Do we reverence the living God, and walk in His ways? Then for us the night must be short, and when the morning comes, all the sickness and sorrow of our soul will be over forever.

     Has Jesus risen upon us? Let us sit in the sun. Has He hidden His face? Let us wait for His rising. He will shine forth as surely as the sun."
