How Hard

"How hard to relax; to spare an hour or even half that time out of our busy, rushing, worried lives, and go quietly to our room, shut the door and be still in His presence! How hard to divest ourselves of our sophistication, of our self-consciousness and self-centeredness, and ever-present feeling that I have to face and meet and shoulder all these cares and responsibilities! How hard to just be a child again, and with a great, happy sigh, settle down carefree at His feet, perfectly assured that he careth; that the government is on His shoulder." - Springs in the Valley (May 9)
