John 1:9 That was the true Light, which lights every man that comes into the world. A visitor went one cold day last spring to see a poor young girl, kept at home by a lame hip. The room was on the north side of a bleak house. It was not a pleasant prospect without, nor was there much that was pleasant or cheerful within. Poor girl I what a cheerless life she has of it, he thought, as he saw how she was situated; and he immediately said to himself, what a pity it was her room was on the north side of the house. "You never have any sun," he said; "not a ray comes in at these windows. That I call a misfortune. Sunshine is everything; I love the sun." "Oh," she answered, with the sweetest smile, "my sun pours in at every window, and even through the cracks." The visitor looked surprised. "The Sun of Righteousness," she said, softly — "Jesus. He shines in here and makes everything bright to me." Who could doubt her? She looked perfectly happy. Yes! Jesus shining in at the window can make any spot beautiful and any home happy.
