We chase it like a bubble in the air!

(Whitmore Winslow, written at the age of 14)

What could the Christian do in this poor world like this if he had not Christ for his Friend?

Truly is he often seeking other friends, but God will make him know by sad yet blessed experience, that there is no friend like Jesus; and that while other friends are fickle and changeable, He never changes.

Oh that we followed not this poor world as we do!

We chase it like a bubble in the air, and with all its apparent beauty, it fades into nothing!

But oh, when we taste the preciousness of Jesus, what a heavenly morsel He is! It raises our drooping spirits to contemplate the joy that awaits us in another world, the happiness that is laid up for us above, the glory that will crown the final end of our weary pilgrimage through a dying and unsatisfying world.
