'This is a picture of the peace

This is a picture of the peace in the heart of the Christian

A tourist writes of a spring as sweet as any that ever gushed from a sunny hillside, which one day he found by the sea, when the tides had ebbed away. Taking his cup he tasted the water, and it was sweet. Soon the sea came again and poured its bitter surf over the little spring, hiding it out of sight.

When the tide ebbed away again, the tourist stood once more by the spring to see if the brackish waves had left their bitterness in its waters; but they were as sweet as ever.

This is a picture of the peace in the heart of the Christian , when floods of bitter sorrow and trial roll over his life. From secret wells — the sweet waters flow, as clear as crystal, and as fresh as ever.

We know where these secret wells are, where these pure fountains rise. They have their source in the heart of God. It is Christ's own peace, which He gives to us. He gives us His own life. It is divine life in the soul, which makes peace for us in the time of earthly distress!
