'An invalid or a suffering one
An invalid or a suffering one in the house
When God sends you one to love who becomes a burden upon your heart, who calls for sacrifice, service, patient care, and thought and cost — lift up your eyes and reverently thank Him, for there is a Divine blessing for yourself in this ministering in Christ's name.
Such loving helps in sanctifying our souls. This is a losing of life, which is in reality the finding of it.
The blessing comes through the serving, through the giving out of life. An invalid or a suffering one in the house , is often the means of softening, refining, and enriching all the household lives.
