{Saturday with Susan} after tragedy
Today’s excerpt from A Life Hid with Christ in God is from a letter Susan wrote in her diary in 1836. Such truth is necessary to remember and cling to at heavy times like this.
“Yesterday I was much depressed by hearing some
instances of the depravity of human nature, and felt
thankful that there is a Saviour of sinners. Oh, how
wretched would be our lot, had we always to remain in
darkness and the shadow of death! Blessed Jesus! Thou
has brought life and immortality to light, and I pray
Thee to hasten the day when the light of truth shall
illuminate the whole world. I do sometimes long for that
happy period when, ‘that at the name of Jesus, every
knee shall bow.’”(page 192)
I cannot wait to read this book. Every single excerpt you share, it reminds me I need to read this.
