Daily Light on the Daily Path
Evening April 19
His word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
Necessity is laid upon me; yea woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. - They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said unto them, … We cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. - The love of Christ constraineth us.
I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth … Thou wicked and slothful servant, … thou oughtest … to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
Go … to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee.
