Where Christ places us we are to remain; where he sends us we are to go; and in the heat of life’s conflicts, set upon on every hand by a host of things which tend to distract our peace, we are to maintain an unruffled calm and all the tenderness and simplicity of the heart of a little child. That is the problem of life and of living which Christ sets for us, and which he will help us to solve if we accept him as our teacher. As the tender grass and even sweet flowers live and grow all through the winter under the deep snows, and come forth in the spring-time in beauty, so our hearts may remain loving, tender, and joyous through life’s sorest winter under the snows of trial and sorrow.
