"Watch and pray, dear, never get tired of trying, and never think it is impossible to conquer your fault," said Mrs. March, drawing the blowzy head to her shoulder and kissing the wet cheek so tenderly, it made Jo cry even harder...
"My child, the troubles and temptations of your life are beginning, and may be many; but you can never overcome and outlive them all if you learn to feel the strength and tenderness of your Heavenly Father as you do your earthly one. His love and care never tire or change, can never be taken from you, but may become the source of lifelong peace, happiness, and strength. Believe this heartily, and go to God with all your little cares, and hopes, and sins, and sorrows as freely and confidingly as you come to your mother."
-Mrs. March to Jo in Little Women
What a beautiful picture of how the Lord views us. What a beautiful picture of how we should RUN to the Lord with our every little care and concern. Oh, how I wish that my first instinct was to run to my Jesus with my little cares, my little concerns-- even though I find them so trivial. We rob ourselves of His great blessings when we do not go to him with these troubles and thoughts. It is my prayer that I learn to do just as Mrs. March recommended to her daughter.
The Gospel, right in the pages of Little Women.
Delightful.
