Essay by J. Hudson Taylor

A couple of days ago, I found an essay by J. Hudson Taylor online. It is fabulous. I am not posting the whole thing, but my favorite paragraph from it.

"'No good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.' Ah! how often, when we have been dissatisfied with the ways of GOD, we ought to have been dissatisfied with our own ways: We did not think, perhaps, that in some matter or other we were not walking uprightly. If not so, however, then the thing we desired was not for our good, and therefore was not given; or the thing we feared was essential to our good, and hence was not withheld. We are often mistaken: GOD, never. 'No good thing will He withhold': shall we be so foolish, so wayward, as after this to desire that which our FATHER in heaven withholds?"
