[Manna - October 31]
Because Thy lovingkindness [favor] is better than life, my lips shall praise Thee. Psalm 63:3
THOSE who have tasted of the Lord's grace, those
who have come to realize His favor as better than life, and who have joyfully laid upon His altar every
earthly good thing, and hope and ambition, rejoice to
tell the good tidings to others; they rejoice to tell
forth the praises of Him who called them out of darkness
into His marvelous light.
The message is too
good to keep; they not only do not require to be hired
to tell it, but they are willing that the telling of it,
and the enjoying of God's favor in connection with
the telling, shall cost them something—cost them
trouble, cost them money, cost them the loss of
earthly friendship, cost the straining, if not the breaking,
of some home ties, cost them the frown of the
world and of churchianity. Z. '01-246 R2852:4
