y for you, is not heavy
for Him. Christ carries the whole on one shoulder, not two shoulders. The
government of the world is upon His shoulder. He is not struggling and
groaning with it. His mighty arm is able to carry all your burdens. There
is power in Christ for our sanctification. He is able to sanctify you.
Yes, yes, the Lord can sanctify, the Lord can heal, the Lord can do
anything. You must have faith in God. If you come to this river this
morning, it will take you as your Niagara would take a little boat, and
just bear you down--to a precipice? Oh, no, but to the bosom of love and
blessing forever.

Oft there comes a wondrous message,
When my hopes are growing dim,
I can hear it thro' the darkness
Like some sweet and far-off hymn.
Nothing is too hard for Jesus,
No man can work like Him.

"That we might know the things that are freely given to us of God" (I.
Cor. ii. 12).

The highest blessings of the Gospel are just as free as the lowest; and
when you have served Him ten years you cannot sit down and say, "I have
got an experience now and I count on that." How often we do that; we say,
"Now I know I am saved, I feel it." And so we are building a different
foundation--we are building on something in ourselves. Always take grace as
something you don't deserve, something that is freely bestowed. The long,
deep, boundless river is free; it is as free at the mouth as it is at the
little stream, and free all the way along, and anybody can come and drink,
and anybody can come and bathe in its boundless waters. Are you going to
believe it?

God has given us His Holy Spirit that we may "know the things that are
freely given of us of God." It is a hard thing for the poor child to look
in through the window and see a fire, and the happy family sitting around
the table when it is starving. What is the good of knowing that there is
warmth, and love, and light, if it is not free? God has freely given all
the goodness of His grace and love.

"For it is God which worketh in you" (Phil. ii. 13).

A day with Jesus. Let us seek its plan and direction from Him. Let us take
His highest thought and will for us in it. Let us look to Him for our
desires, ideals, expectations in it. Then shall it bring to us exceeding
abundantly above all that we can ask or think. Let Him be our Guide and
Way. Let us not so much be thinking even of His plan and way as of Him as
the Personal Guid
