Don’t comfort yourself with that sort of Christianity which today practices
the art of decking out every distress and wrapping everything in phrases
to
the effect that whatever happens is good. Don’t accept such comfort; but
seek with me people who stand before God arid say, “Dear Father in heaven,
we are not worthy to be called your children—but oh, that you once could
use us as your hired servants!”
