Gem #48 - Living in the Light of God

Give me the support of God, and I can easily bear the insults of men. Let

me lay my head on the chest of Jesus, and I will not fear the interruptions

of care and trouble. If my God will forever give me the light of His

smile, and a glimpse of His blessing--it is enough. Come on enemies,

persecutors, demons, yes, the Devil himself, for "the Lord God is my sun

and shield." Gather, you clouds, and surround me, I carry a Sun within me;

blow, wind of the frozen north, I have a fire of living coal within me;

yes, death, kill me, but I have another life--a life in the light of God's

countenance.
