“那靠着良人从旷野上来的，是谁呢？”（歌8：5）
一次，我在一个祈祷会中，学到了一课有益的功课。有一位弟兄，起来祷告，求神赐各种祝福给我们——正如你我所求的；他也为着已经得到的感谢神——正如你我所感谢的；但是，在他结束的时候，他加上了一个奇异的请求。他说：“哦，主啊，撑住我们”！亲爱的读者，你有没有可依靠的呢？这位弟兄，用一个新的方法，把我们所依靠的描写清楚了；他对我们所依靠的主有了新的亮光，他也把这个亮光，介绍给我们了。读者，主是时时在信徒旁边的，他随时能张开他仁爱的双臂来撑住软弱的信徒。——选
Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved?" (S. of Sol. 8:5).
Some one gained a good lesson from a Southern prayer meeting. A brother asked the Lord for various blessings--as you and I do, and thanked the Lord for many already received--as you and I do; but he closed with this unusual petition: "And, O Lord, support us! Yes support us Lord on every leanin' side!"
Have you any leaning sides? This humble man's prayer pictures them in a new way and shows the Great Supporter in a new light also. He is always walking by the Christian, ready to extend His mighty arm and steady the weak one on "every leanin' side."
"Child of My love, lean hard,
And let Me feel the pressure of thy care;
I know thy burden, child. I shaped it;
Poised it in Mine Own hand; made no proportion
In its weight to thine unaided strength,
For even as I laid it on, I said,
'I shall be near, and while she leans on Me,
This burden shall be Mine, not hers;
So shall I keep My child within the circling arms
Of My Own love.'
Here lay it down, nor fear
To impose it on a shoulder which upholds the government of worlds.
Yet closer come: Thou art not near enough.
I would embrace thy care;
So I might feel My child reposing on My breast.
Thou lovest Me? I knew it.
Doubt not then;
But Loving Me, lean hard."
