The Comforter

Oh! it must have been sweet to have lived with Christ. Surely, sorrows
were then but joys in masks, because they gave an opportunity to go to
Jesus to have them removed. Oh! would to God, some of us may say, that
we could have lain our weary heads upon the bosom of Jesus, and that
our birth had been in that happy era, when we might have heard His
kind voice, when he said, "Let the weary ones come unto me." But hear
how kindly Jesus speaks: "I will not leave you comfortless, for I will
pray the Father, and He will send you another Comforter, that He may
abide with you forever." (Charles Spurgeon)
