His transforming presence

Christ never can be hidden. He can be in no place in this world very long — and His presence not be recognized. You may hide sweet flowers so that they cannot be seen — but soon the fragrance will disclose their hiding-place.

Just so, the sweetness of the Savior's life and love, will always tell when He is near.

When He enters a human heart , He cannot be hidden — for soon His spirit begins to breathe out in all the words, actions, and life of the new follower.

When He enters a home , He cannot long be hidden, for the home is changed — worldliness, bitterness, and sin — will give place to prayer and praise, to the spirit of love and gentleness, and to purity and holiness.

When He enters a community , He cannot remain concealed.

Christ will always reveal His transforming presence in this world.
