An eminent Christian worker tells of his mother who was a very anxious & troubled Christian. He would talk with her by the hour trying to convince her of the sinfulness of fretting, but to no avail. She was like the old lady who once said she had suffered so much, especially from the troubles that never came. But one morning the mother came down to breakfast wreathed in smiles. He asked her what had happened, & she told him that in the night she had a dream. She was walking along a highway with a great crowd of people who seemed tired & burdened. They were nearly all carrying little black bundles, and she noticed that there were numerous repulsive looking beings which she thought were demons dropping these little black bundles for the people to pick up & carry. Like the rest, she too had her needless load, & was weighed down with the devils bundles. Looking up. after a while, she saw a MAN with a bright & loving face, passing hither & thither through the crowd, & comforting the people. At last HE came near her, & she saw that it was her SAVIOUR. She looked up & told HIM how tired she was, & HE smiled sadly & said: MY dear child, I did not give you these loads; you have no need of them. They are the devils burdens & they are wearing out your life. Just drop them; refuse to touch them with one of your fingers & you will find the path easy & you will be as if borne on eagles wings. HE touched her hand, and lo, peace & joy thrilled her frame and, flinging down her burden, she was about to throw herself at HIS feet in joyful thanksgiving, when suddenly she awoke & found that all her cares were gone. From that day to the close of her life she was the most cheerful & happy member of her household. ~ Streams In The Desert There remaineth, therefore, a rest to the people of GOD. (Heb. 4:9.) . . The rest includes victory, And the LORD gave them rest round about; . . . the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand. ( Joshua 21:44.) . . HE will beautify the meek with victory. ~ Psalm 149:4 ) ~
