Two men were walking along a country road. As they neared the home of the first man, they saw in the twilight of his cottage a shining light. The man said:
"Do you know my friend, I can tell that Jane loves me by the way she places the light in the window. There it is now!"
And there it was! A light of love in a wayside window. So you, too, may know you are loved of God my the way he has placed His Light for you--the Light of His Word and the Light of His Son!
God places a light in every window for those who come home to Him burdened down with sorrow and care. God places a light in every window whether it be the window of a lonely farm, a crowded tenement in the city or on a maple-shaded village street!
It is important that you think of this when trouble and misfortune seem to crush you to the ground. The burden may be too much for you and you, too, like some of the Disciples of old, may doubt. But it is right here that the Faith which we have so often urged you to cultivate will help you when it is most needed.
For Faith in God is never wonderful than in your hour of trial. It is only then that you realize what a marvelous sure help and refuge that Faith in God is! Faith brings comfort; it brings strength in trouble; it takes the sting from misfortune and brings peace out of worry and confusion.
Faith teaches you that God knows of your burdens and that His love helps you carry them. No matter how heavy your burdens are---even if they seem so heavy you can hardly bear up under them---they cannot crush you, for God's wonderful love will hold you up!
