You are as dear to your Father's heart as the greatest in the family. Jesus is very tender over you. Instead of being downcast by reason of what you are, you should triumph in Christ. Yet in Christ I am made to sit in heavenly places. Still in Jesus I am heir of all things.
Any man can sing in the day.
When the cup is full, man draws inspiration from it. When wealth rolls in abundance around him, any man can praise the God who gives a plenteous harvest or sends home a loaded argosy. It is easy enough for an Aeolian harp to whisper music when the winds blow-the difficulty is for music to swell forth when no wind is stirring. No, it is not in man's power to sing when all is adverse, unless an altar-coal shall touch his lip. Then, since our Maker gives songs in the night, let us wait upon Him for the music.
