"As to what may befall us outwardly,
in this confused state of things,
shall we not trust our tender Father,
and rest satisfied in His will?
Shall anything hurt us?
Can tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, or sword, come between the love of the Father to the child, or the child’s rest, content, and delight in His love?
And doth not the love, the rest, the peace, the joy felt, swallow up all the bitterness and sorrow of the outward condition?"
