Her friends wondered what
the secret could be!
(J.R. Miller, "Evening Thoughts" 1907)
you love." 1 Peter 1:8
One tells of a young girl who became
wondrously beautiful in her life, growing
into a rare Christ-likeness. Her friends
wondered what the secret could be.
She wore a little locket upon her bosom
which she always kept closed, refusing
to allow anyone to see within it. Once,
however, when she was very ill, a friend
was permitted to open it, and found there
only a small piece of paper, bearing
the Scripture verse,
This told the whole delightful story.
Her love for the unseen CHRIST was
the secret of that beautiful spiritual
life which had so impressed
itself upon her friends.
If we love the unseen FRIEND,
our life will be steadfast in all trial,
and will be transformed little by little
into the beauty of CHRIST!
HE is precious!" 1 Peter 2:7
