God is too good to be unkind and He is too wise to be mistaken. And when we cannot trace His hand, we must trust His heart.

Our Lord Jesus is ever giving, and does not for a solitary instant withdraw his hand. As long as there is a vessel of grace not yet full to the brim, the oil shall not be stayed. He is a sun ever-shining; he is manna always falling round the camp; he is a rock in the desert, ever sending out streams of life from his smitten side; the rain of his grace is always dropping; the river of his bounty is ever-flowing, and the well-spring of his love is constantly overflowing.
In prosperity God is heard, and that is a blessing; but in adversity God is seen, and that is a greater blessing.
