We must not close with Christ because we feel Him, but because God lias said it, and we must take God's word even in the dark.
Break my hard heart, Jesus my Lord; In the inmost part Hide Thy sweet word.
When this passing world is done, When has sunk yon, glowing sun, When we stand with Christ in glory, Looking o'er life's f1nished story, Then, Lord, shall I fully know — Not till then — how much I owe.

The sea ebbs and flows, but the rock remains unmoved.
When I stand before the throne, Dressed in beauty not my own, When I see Thee as Thou art, Love Thee with unsinning heart, Then, Lord, shall I fully know — Not till then — how much I owe.
When you are reading a book in a dark room, and come to a difficult part, you take it to a window to get more light. So take your Bibles to Christ.
One gem from that ocean is worth all the pebbles from earthly streams.
