Principles and Practices - May 26

The Nearness of Jesus

Come and never fear. Put your hands in His, follow His Blessed Feet. He will be your Guide. Though sometimes you see Him not, He is there;, His Blessed Hands lead you, His Blessed Feet guide you. It is His Face that looks upon you, even though you see it not, and He will lead you safely, safely home. Oh! home - where is there home but in the heart of the Man-God? Where is there rest but in the Heart of Jesus ? Where is there peace but in the embrace of His all-­satisfying love? May that love be yours, ever to guide and sustain you.

-Anon.
