Leaning Sides<\/p>\n
“Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved?” (S. of Sol. 8:5).<\/p>\n
Some one gained a good lesson from a Southern prayer meeting. A brother asked the Lord for various blessings–as you and I do, and thanked the Lord for many already received–as you and I do; but he closed with this unusual petition: “And, O Lord, support us! Yes support us Lord on every leanin’ side!” Have you any leaning sides? This humble man’s prayer pictures them in a new way and shows the Great Supporter in a new light also. He is always walking by the Christian, ready to extend His mighty arm and steady the weak one on “every leanin’ side.”<\/p>\n
“Child of My love, lean hard, And let Me feel the pressure of thy care; I know thy burden, child. I shaped it; Poised it in Mine Own hand; made no proportion In its weight to thine unaided strength, For even as I laid it on, I said, ‘I shall be near, and while she leans on Me, This burden shall be Mine, not hers;So shall I keep My child within the circling arms Of My Own love.’ Here lay it down, nor fear To impose it on a shoulder which upholds the government of worlds. Yet closer come: Thou art not near enough. I would embrace thy care; So I might feel My child reposing on My breast. Thou lovest Me? I knew it. Doubt not then; But Loving Me, lean hard.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
