He sits constantly

He sits constantly in every Christian sickroom

"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden — and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28

It is a great comfort to know that, while we may not expect miraculous healing of our bodily illnesses — we are sure at least that . . .

our Lord is not indifferent to these distresses;

He designs to use them for our spiritual benefit;

He is ready to give us the grace we need to endure them patiently and submissively;

He is ready to heal us when His wise purpose in these afflictions has been accomplished.

So we may be sure always of the sympathy, love, and help of Christ in all our sickness.

He sits constantly in every Christian sickroom , and where faith is strong and clear, He gives great comfort and peace.

When He was on earth He did not go very often to the places of festivity — but whenever there was anyone sick in a home — He was sure to go there. Sickness and pain draw Him to us, and whenever He comes, He brings blessings.
