Gratitude & Joy
The joy which answers to prayer give, cannot be described; and the impetus which they afford to the spiritual life is exceedingly great.
Our need had not been greater for a long time, dear reader, join me in admiring and adoring Him.
As the weeks pass on, and I go on Saturday evenings to the prayer meetings at the Orphan-Houses, I praise the Lord for having sustained me one more week in this service.
In this my joy I wrote to my father and brother, entreating them to seek the Lord, and telling them how happy I was; thinking, that if the way to happiness were but set before them, they would gladly embrace it.
It would be sinful ingratitude, after all the Lord has been doing for me in this work, not to rely upon Him.
I delight in showing, both to the world and to the church, how kind a Master I have served.
Thus the Lord has not only given us enough for today, but also a little to begin the next week with.
Thus the Lord has been pleased to answer our prayers in this respect also.
I magnify Him for this honour!
I praise Him beforehand for His help.
