I just reviewed this and entered in my journal. I can’t remember where I found this. It may be in Hannah Whitehall Smith’s writings?
Either way, I appreciate it very much.
A Response In Painful Times…
In response to a difficult time in his life, Andrew Murray sat down and wrote these words:
“First, He brought me here, it is by His will I am in this strait place: in that fact I will rest.”
Next, He will keep me here in His love, and give me grace to behave as His child.
Then, He will make the trial a blessing, teaching me the lessons He intends me to learn, working in me the grace He means to bestow.
Last, in his good time He can bring me out again — how and when He knows.
Let me say I am here…
By God’s appointment,
In His keeping,
Under His training,
For His time.”
