"Be of good cheer."

"Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again."

(John 3:7)

No more certain it is that it is something outside the thermometer 

that produces a change in the thermometer, 

than it is something outside the soul of man that produces a moral change upon him.  

That he must be susceptible to that change, that he must be a party to it, goes without saying; 

But that neither his aptitude not his will can produce it, is equally certain. 

Growth is not voluntary, it takes place, it happens, it is wrought upon matter, 

So here, "Ye must be born again" - we cannot born ourselves.  

"Be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed."  

We are subjects to a transforming influence, 

We do not transform ourselves.  

(A Thought for Every Day - Henry Drummond)

N.J. Hiebert - 4743

All may come, (Rev.22: 17)
But none will; (John 3: 23)
Some shall come,
on account of the
sovereign power of God
acting to draw them.(Jn.6: 24)

All may come,
None will,
Some shall.

Trust!

"I am the the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father but by Me."

(John 14:6)

His Way

God bade me go  when I would stay

('Twas cool within the wood);

I did not know the reason why.

I heard a boulder crashing by

Across the pathway where I stood.

He bade me stay when I would go;

"Thy will be done," I said.

They found one day at early dawn,

Across the way I would have gone.

A serpent with a mangled head.

No more I ask the reason why,

Although I may not see

The path ahead, His way I go;

For though I know not, He doth know,

And He will choose safe paths for me.

(The Sunday School Times)

Our Springs are all in Thee

Our Springs Are All in Thee From:Things New and Old  – Things New and Old: Volume 17 As pilgrims and as strangers We tread the desert way, In conscious weakness, leaning On God, our strength and stay. Though ofttimes long and dreary The way may seem to be, Yet, Lord, Thy strength and love is ours, And we can joy in Thee. Though everything should fail us, Still we can count on Thee; Thou art the ever faithful One, - Our springs are all in Thee. 'Tis thus in Thee confiding We tread the desert way, Proving Thy love and faithfulness So constant day by day. The wilderness is barren, - A place where drought abides; But our resources are in Thee, Our need Thy love supplies. We know Thou wilt sustain us Until the journey's o'er, Then we shall meet with Thee above And praise Thee evermore. May 26th, 1874. L. W.
