Resignation Taught by the Sorrows of Others
John 11:32
Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if you had been here…


"Peace, Mary, peace," said a godly woman, who had lost all her family, to a godless neighbour who was rebelling against the Providence that had taken one child of many; "Peace, Mary; while I have six pairs of empty shoes to look on, you have but one."

(T. Guthrie, D. D.)
