The lesson is for all of us, especially for young people who seem born with more than their share of disadvantages, limitations, hard conditions. God gave them this load, whatever it is, to make something of them. The deformity, the burden, the weight of some other one’s need laid upon the shoulder, the inheritance of difficulty which seems to be a hindrance to a worthy life, is but another chance to grow, to become stronger, richer hearted, more a man or a woman, to win a higher place in life, and a brighter crown in glory.
In any case, we should never give place to discouragement for a moment. If we are God’s children, we have only to keep ourselves in God’s hands, and keep our own hands off; then, out of the sorest difficulties and the hardest conditions, blessings will come. God lives, and is caring for us, and we can say:–
“God’s in his heaven–
All’s right with the world.”
