DevotionAs for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do. Deuteronomy 18:14.
What a stepping-stone! We give thanks, often with a tearful, doubtful voice, for our spiritual mercies positive; but what an almost infinite field there is for mercies negative! We cannot even imagine all that God has suffered us not to do, not to be. Frances Ridley Havergal.
