Companions of the Way (Morning)In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.
THE Christian is prepared to build a temple to God on the grave of every earthly hope, and even out of the stones of the sepulchre. "Whosoever will save his life shall lose it, and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it," is a principle which turns even the prison and the Cross into manifestations of divine goodness, and uses the utmost violence of human selfishness and malice as the opportunity for the outflow of an infinite love which, so to speak, absorbs it and swallows it up.
