Remember this, Christian, and let it comfort you. However difficult and painful thy road, it is marked by the footsteps of thy Saviour; and even when you reach the dark valley of the shadow of death, and the deep waters of the swelling Jordan, you will find His footprints there. In all places whithersoever we go, He has been our forerunner; each burden we have to carry has once been laid on the shoulders of Immanuel. CHARLES SPURGEON
