[February 14]
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. II Corinthians 4:17
ARE we willing to bear the hatred, the scorn, the
contumely, which loyalty to the truth brings?
Is our
Father's loving favor more, far more, to us than the
favor and smiles of the whole world—even more, far
more, than life itself?
If so, we can go forth in his
name, rejoicing as we go, praising him with our lips,
singing the new song which he hath put into our
mouths, "even the loving-kindness of our God."
It
costs something to sing this song. Z'14-119 R5441:6 (Hymn 17)
