Finding Hope in Suffering With Amy Carmichael

DAN 1 OD 7

To one in trouble

I am thinking so much of you. My prayer for you is that the peace of God may enter into your heart so that you will spread peace all around.

The only way I know that leads to this is the way of Matthew 11:29. Verse 28 has a word for you, too, but verse 29 is all for you. You have borne a yoke—sometimes a heavy yoke—but His yoke is easy and His burden is light, because we do not bear it alone. It is a double yoke. We are fellow-workers with Him in a new sense, when we give up making our own yoke and take His. It is a definite transac­tion between Him and our souls. “Take.” He won’t put it on us; He asks us to take. Then when we do, it is His yoke, not ours, thereafter.

I want to give you a word that helped me all yesterday and will help me today. It is the “through” of Psalm 84:6 and of Isaiah 43:2, taken with Song of Songs 8:5.

We are never staying in the valley or the rough waters; we are always only passing through them, just as the bride in the Song of Songs is seen coming up from the wilderness leaning upon her Beloved.

So whatever the valley is, or however rough the waters are, we won’t fear. Leaning upon our Beloved we shall come up from the wilderness and, as Psalm 84:6 says, even use the valley as a well, make it a well. We shall find the living waters there and drink of them.
