April 8

Be happy in your faith. Be calm in your faith. Be strong with the great assurance which is in the heart of God, who knows the sorrow of our human life as none of us have ever begun to know it, and yet keeps, in the depths of His divinity, His perfect joy. Dare to be happy, even in this stricken, burdened world, because it is God's world. It is only a little while, it is only a few years, and then

comes the increased work that lies beyond. Shall it be our work?
