A good man was very ill & his friends came to comfort him. They remembered his good deeds & how he had always cared for the lambs of Christ's flock.
One prayed, "Lord, thou knowest how he loves Thee,"
"Ah, my friends," said the sick man, "do not say that. When Mary & Martha went to Jesus, their message was not, `Lord, he who loveth Thee is sick,' but, `He whom Thou lovest.' It is not my imperfect love to Him that gives me comfort, but His perfect love to me."
