Some people say they can’t bear to be alone for even an hour; they have nothing to do, nothing to think about. Surely, no Christian would say that! If I could give them just one word to think about—Christ—let them ponder that forever. Give them the name Jesus, and let them try to fully understand it,

and they’ll find that an hour is nothing and that eternity isn’t long enough to express the glory of our Savior.

From a sweet fountain of thought comes sweet words. It’s sweet to live in the thoughts of those we love.

The devotion of someone who hides away in a monastery is nothing compared to that of a soldier of Christ who takes his place in the battles of life. The piety of a monk or nun is, at best, like the heroism of a soldier hiding behind the baggage, but the

faith of a person in the business world, who turns everything to God’s glory, is like the courage of a warrior who seeks the thick of the battle, holding high the banner of JEHOVAH-NISSI.
