Morning of April 13th
“There are significant pronouns— "we"—"you"—"your." Who is that? Is that you? Does it come to you and make your joy full?
If you do not know or much care about it, then it does not speak to you. If you find plenty of joy elsewhere and it does not speak to you, it will not force itself and intrude upon you. It gives you no joy because you have enough elsewhere. ‘They that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.’ But others of you long for this joy! You are uneasy, unsatisfied, cannot find a tree in which to build your nest.
Oh, dear Friend! I am so glad! May you grow weary and heavy-laden of spirit, for then I have a whisper for you—Jesus Christ came to call such to Him! Yes, the world may have spurned and scorned you, but Jesus will receive you! Your companions say you are mopish and miserable—come to Him and He will warmly welcome you! He will not break the bruised reed, nor quench the smoking flax:
‘Weary souls that wander wide From the central source of bliss, Turn to Jesus Crucified— Look to His dear wounds and live!’”
Charles Spurgeon, “How to Become Full of Joy”.
