Life-lessons',

Back to Treasures from J.R. Miller

"Learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart." Matthew 11:29 

We all fail in the life-lessons which our great Teacher sets for us. The hardest school-tasks are easily mastered — in comparison with the lessons of:
patience,
sweet temper,
forgiveness,
unselfishness,
gentleness,
humility,
purity,
contentment. 

Even at best — we can learn these lessons but slowly. And though but little seems to come from our yearnings and struggling after Christ-likeness — yet God honours the yearning and the striving. While we sit in the shadows of weariness, disheartened with our failures — He carries on the work within us, and with His own hands produces the divine beauty in our souls.
