Our hours of communion with Christ

God gives us . . .

our spiritual raptures,

our glimpses of His face and His glory,

our foretastes of celestial joy,

our fragments of heavenly vision —

for the very purpose of making us stronger and braver for duty. It would be sad indeed, then, if they make us less fit for life here with its burdens and cares.

We should seek to bring the heavenly visions down, and give them reality in our lives, that others may see the beauty too, and be cheered by it.

Our hours of communion with Christ , should leave some gleams of brightness on our faces, as we come to walk again in life's dusty ways.
