How Are You Clothed?

I was blessed by this devotion in my Springs in the Valley book:

There are some Christians who always seem to be kept on scant measure. Their spiritual garments are threadbare, their whole bearing that of people who are poverty-stricken and kept on short allowance--hard up, and on the ragged edge of want and bankruptcy. They come through by the "skin of their teeth" and are "saved so as by fire."

There are other souls who "have life more abundantly." Their love "beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things," and "never faileth." Their patience has "all long suffering with joyfulness." Their peace "passeth all understanding." Their joy is "joy unspeakable and full of glory." Their service is so free and glad that duty is a delight. In a word, this life reaches out into the infinite as well as the eternal, sailing on the shoreless and fathomless seas of God and His infinite grace.
