There is a pleasing story of how the father of Matthew Henry the commentator won his bride. He was a Presbyterian minister, she, an only daughter & the heiress of a considerable fortune.
Her father objected. "You see," he said to his
daughter, "he may be a perfect gentleman, a brilliant scholar & an
excellent preacher; but he is a stranger & we do not even know where he
comes from!"
"True," replied the girl, "but we know where
he is going & I should like to go with him."
Do others have confidence in us because they know we are led
of God?
