Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. (Proverbs 23)
The hour is coming when we shall be astonished to think what mere trifles were once capable of discouraging us for though many things we now meet with have a kind of importance respecting the present life and our natural feelings.
Yet when we come to see things as they are, and get a clearer view of the difference between the temporary and the eternal—of the lightness of the one and the weight of the other—we shall be satisfied that there is a greater disproportion between them than between molehills and mountains and that when the Lord has put us in possession of the pearl of great price—the gain or loss of a pebble was hardly worth a serious thought.
