your heart to stone. You may lose
health, loved ones, wealth, but you
need not lose a heart of tenderness.
You may be disappointed, defeated,
despoiled of your rights, but you need
let nothing rob you of your heart of
sympathy. You need a heart respon-

Jesus alone is fit to be the master
of the heart, for He knows the heart.
