“Grieve not the Christ of God, who redeems us; and remember that we grieve Him most when we will not let Him pour His love upon us, but turn a sullen, unresponsive unbelief towards His pleading grace, as some glacier shuts out the sunshine from the mountain-side with its thick-ribbed ice.” RememberTurnsSidesChristGraceMountainIceGrievingSunshineThickHis LoveUnbeliefPleadingGlaciersSullenUnresponsive Author:Alexander MacLaren
“Rejoice, and men will seek you; Grieve, and they turn and go, They want full measure of all your pleasure, But they do not need your woe. Be glad, and your friends are many; Be sad, and you lose them all,-- There are none to decline your nectar'd wine, But alone you must drink life's gall.” MenWantNeedsTurnsFriendshipLosesPleasureDrinkWineGladGrievingRejoiceDeclineWoeNectar Book:Complete Poetical Works of Ella Wheeler Wilcox (Delphi Classics) Source: Complete Poetical Works of Ella Wheeler Wilcox (Delphi Classics)
