Those who have tasted of
the Lord’s grace, those who have come to realize His favor as
better than life, and who have joyfully laid upon His altar
every earthly good thing, and hope and ambition, rejoice to tell the
good tidings to others; they rejoice to tell forth the praises of
Him who called them out of darkness into His marvelous light. The
message is too good to keep; they not only do not require to be
hired to tell it, but they are willing that the telling of it, and
the enjoying of God’s favor in connection with the telling, shall
cost them something cost them trouble, cost them money, cost them
the loss of earthly friendships, cost the straining, if not the
breaking, of some home ties, cost them the frown of the world and of churchianity. |
