A WOMAN being once asked as to her state, replied that she was a believer, but her joy ebbed and flowed. There are many souls like this, and one great reason is because they live too near the world.
A river ebbs and flows at its mouth near the sea, but never at its source. And if we live near Christ, drawing all from Him, He will be the source of our continued and unbounded joy. But if we live near the sea of this world, no wonder that our joy ebbs and flows!
