Be of good cheer

The nineteenth-century preacher Robert Murray McCheyne died young but had made a significant impact in his seven years of ministry in Scotland. Here he writes to his church about suffering.

God has called you to suffer, and you go, like Abraham, not

knowing whither you go ... Still, be of good cheer, suffer with

Christ! God marks your every step ... He that loves you with an

infinite, unchanging love, is leading you by his Spirit and

providence. He knows every stone, every thorn in your path.

Robert Murray McCheyne (1813–1843)
