''My portion!
My portion!
"My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever!" Psalm 73:26
What is the loss of money, savings, houses, costly furniture, musical instruments, and works of art — while love remains? What are temporal and worldly losses of the sorest kind — while God remains?
There is surely enough in Him to compensate a thousand times for every earthly deprivation.
Our lives may be stripped bare — home, friends, riches, comforts gone, every sweet voice of love, every note of joy silenced — and we may be driven out from brightness, music, tenderness, and shelter — into the cold ways of sorrow; yet, if we have God Himself left, ought it not to suffice?
"You are my refuge and my portion in the land of the living." Psalm 142:5
