It is not for us to supervise the trials and difficulties
which may beset us. It is for us to make an unreserved consecration
of ourselves to the Lord and then leave to Him the decision of how
great shall be our trials and besetments, how great our
sacrifices in following His leadings. The Lord may see that some
need special trials more than others, and those things which to some
would be great trials and imply great sacrifices, to others, because
of greater love to the Lord and His cause, and greater zeal for
service, the sacrifice might be, as the Apostle expresses it of his
own, “light afflictions, which are but for a moment, and which are
working out a far more exceeding and eternal weight of
glory”. |
