Companions of the Way (Morning)The crooked shall be made straight.
OUT of all my life, up to this day, I have found but one solution. We make mistakes, or what we call such. The nature that could fall into such mistakes exactly needs, and in the goodness of the dear God is given, the living of it out. And beyond this, I believe more. That in the pure and patient living of it out we come to find that we have fallen, not into hopeless confusion of our own wild ignorant making, but that the finger of God has been at work among our lines, and that the emerging is into His blessed order; that He is for ever making up for us our own undoings; that He makes them up beforehand; that He evermore restoreth our souls.
