I girded thee, though thou hast not known me.

ISAIAH 14:5

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord;
thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

JEREMIAH 29:11

THOU knowest,--oh, the precious truth

That bids my soul be strong!

The care, the never-weary care

That cannot lead me wrong!

There is a blessed end for me,

Whereon thine eyes are set;

Thou hast a comfort in Thy love,

Too great to show me yet.

ANNA L. WARING

NO room for a discouraged or depressed feeling is left you. If your
sphere is outwardly humble, if it even appears to be quite
insignificant, God understands it better than you do, and it is a part
of His wisdom to bring out great sentiments in humble conditions, great
principles in works that are outwardly trivial, great characters under
great adversities and heavy loads of encumbrance. Let it fill you with
cheerfulness and exalted feeling, however deep in obscurity your lot may
be, that God is leading you on, girding you for a work, preparing you
for a good that is worthy of His divine magnificence. If God is really
preparing us all to become that which is the very highest and best thing
possible, there ought never to be a discouraged or uncheerful being in
the world.
