Temporary
by adustyframe ~ February 14th, 2007Let this encourage those of you who belong to Christ:
The storm may be tempestuous, but it is only temporary.
The clouds that are presently rolling over your head will pass, and then you will have fair weather, an eternal sunshine of glory.
Can you not watch with Christ one hour?
Bid faith look through the keyhole for the promise and see what God has laid up for those that love Him. You serve a God who keeps covenant for ever.
Having already bathed in the fountain of His tender mercies, how can you stand on this side of eternity, afraid to wet your feet with those short-lived sufferings which, like a little splash of water, run between you and glory?
