The Armor of God
Reflections and Prayers for Wartime
CHAPTER VI
Encouragement
Do not think of God as always looking around corners with an angel as a secretary to jot down all your sins. He is also looking at your good deeds, seeing every drink of cold water you give in His name, every visit to the sick you make in His name, every act of kindness you do for your fellowman in His name.
It is hard to understand why God should seemingly care so much for sinners; but does not a mother rejoice more at the recovery of her sick child, than at the continued health of the rest of the family?
Did not the Prodigal Son get the fatted calf, while the one who stayed at home was not so much as given a goat?
