“Wearily my spirit sinketh
Into Jesus’ heart and hands,
Calmly trusting, though the journey
Lie through strange, untrodden lands.
All my spirit is at rest
On the loving Father’s breast.”
In one of his epistles St. Paul tells us of a trust which he had committed to Christ. Speaking of Him with whom he had made this deposit, he says he knows Him whom he has trusted. Christ was no stranger to him, no untried friend. He could not have trusted Him with such tremendous interests if he had not known Him. Very foolish is the young person who puts confidence in a stranger, admitting him to the place of a friend. She would be a very careless, thoughtless mother who would commit the keeping of her child to a nurse concerning whose character she had not thoroughly satisfied herself. Men who are prudent will not invest money in an institution which they do not reasonably believe to be safe. If you were going to cross the sea, you would want to be well assured of the staunchness and seaworthiness of the ship to which you commit your life.
