Rejoicing Always
Phi 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord
always and
again I say, Rejoice.
A saintly woman who had suffered for weary
months from a painful illness said to her
pastor, "I have such a lovely robin that sings
outside my window. In the early mornings as I
lie here, he serenades me."
Then a smile brightened her thin features
as she added, "I love him because he sings in
the rain."
That is the most beautiful thing about a
robin. When a storm has silenced every other
songbird, the robin sings on. That is what the
Christian who is with Christ may do. Any one
can sing in the sunshine. You and I should
sing on when the sun has gone down, or when
clouds pour out their rain, for Christ is with
us, for us and in us, forever.
