| Reading the Letter, Thomas Bennington Kensington, 1884 |
This encouragement came through the mail yesterday, but was just opened today, on such a morning as I needed it most. Part of a bulk mailing, but a balm to my spirit as I've felt my shortcomings weighing heavily the past couple of days. I share it in hopes that perhaps it will be a balm to your own spirit as well. Keep looking heavenward and homeward, dear one.
This life, therefore, is not righteousness but growth in righteousness, not health but healing, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not yet what we shall be but we are growing toward it. The process is not yet finished but it is going on. This is not the end but it is the road. All does not yet gleam in glory but all is being purified. ~ Martin Luther
