{Saturday with Susan} Peace and Joy in Christ
Today’s excerpt from A Life Hid with Christ in God is from a letter Susan wrote to her friend, Miss E.N. on January 31, 1836.
“Dear E., we are commanded to rejoice in the Lord always, and why do we not? Is it because we are so sinful that we ought not to be happy? No; it is because we are so sinful that we will not be happy. We are so unbelieving that we refuse to accept as ours the peace and joy which are provided for us in Christ Jesus. Let us both, my dear friend, strive to have brighter views of our blessed Saviour. Let us think much of all that He has done for our sinful world, and for our own souls, and then we shall love Him better.”
