Encouraged in Christ

Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

1 Thessalonians 5:11

God looking down from the top of the rocks, not in some valley looking for their bad points and condemning them. God seeing them the way He wanted to see them—from the height of love and mercy. – WMB

God Leads His Dear Children Along

George A. Young was a poor minister who labored as a carpenter to provide for his family. After years of struggle and hardship, he was able to build a humble house for him and his family. One day, as George was preaching in a different city, some young local delinquents set fire to his home, completely destroying it.
In 1903, George, under inspiration, wrote the words and music score to the hymn “God leads His dear children along.”
Years later, in an interview, his wife of many years stated “God gave us a wonderful life together; he led us day by day. We had so much of Jesus.“ It is presumed the song was written as a testimony of George’s unwavering faith in God, amidst trials and hardships.

Frederick M. Lehman was a German-born minister who moved to the United States at a young age with his family. Around 1917, he dealt with some financial challenges after some business deals went south. This caused Frederick to find work packing oranges and lemons on a farm to make end’s meat. During a camp-meeting, an evangelist ended his sermon quoting what would eventually become the third stanza of the hymn “The Love of God”. The preacher said the words were found written on the wall inside of a patient’s room at an insane asylum after he was being led to his grave. Frederick clung to the words dearly.

One day, leaning up against a wall at work as he sat on an empty lemon box, Frederick wrote the first two stanzas and chorus of the song. Remembering the evangelist’s story, he added the third stanza to his newly written hymn. That very day, he went home, and produced the melody on his piano.
