God Will be Ever Near

"Scatter the dark clouds of ignorance and egoism that cover the face of the sun shining in the sky of your heart.  Your parents might disown you, your kinsmen might desert you, your friends might give you up; your treasured possessions might be lost.

But God will be ever near, ever dear, ever ready with counsel and courage.  People will gather around you so long as you have pelf and power; you will be left severely alone, when you lose these.  They are like swarms of frogs that infest a full lake, croaking flattering but disappearing when the lake is dry."
