The Joy of Service

Chapter 11


The Increasing Christ

 

“He leads us on
Through all the unquiet years;
Past all our dreamland hopes and doubts and fears
He guides our steps; through al the tangled maze
Of sin, of sorrow, and o’er clouded days,
We know His will is done,
And still He leads us on.”

It is a joyful day when one finds Christ. But the truest coming to Him is only the beginning of an acquaintance with Christ. Even in human friendships the beginning shows but a little of what comes out in the familiar intercourse of after years. The friend of today who is so much to us, whose character appears so noble, so worthy, whose personality is so rich, so charming, whose life is so strong in its influence and so faithful in its ministry, is not the friend we saw at the first meeting. He has been changing continually, growing in winningness, in helpfulness, more and more of the worthy things in him being revealed, as we learned to know him better.
