A Long, Cold Winter?

The Christian’s sojourn in this world may be fitly compared to the long, cold winter. Here we experience trials, sorrows, and disappointments, but we should not permit our minds to dwell upon these.

 Let us rather look forward with hope and faith to the coming summer when we shall be welcomed to our Eden home [Heaven and the Earth made New], where all is light and joy, where all is peace and love.

 Our High Calling, 158, E G White

Happiness & Safety

Your only safety and happiness are in making Christ your constant counselor. You can be happy in (Jesus) if you had not another friend in the wide world. Your feelings of unrest and homesickness or loneliness may be for your good. Your heavenly Father means to teach you to find in Him the friendship and love and consolation that will satisfy your most earnest hopes and desires.

…Do not be overanxious about anything. Go quietly about your duty which the day brings you. Do the best you can, ask God to be your helper.

 Our High Calling, p 64, E G White
