Day Coldness and Midnight Warmth
Illustration★★★★I have read of a fountain that at noonday is cold, and at mid-
night it grows warm; so many a precious soul is cold Godwards
and heavenwards and holinesswards, in the day of prosperity,
that grows warm Godwards and heavenwards and holinesswards
in the midnight of adversity (Heb. xii. 6, 7).
The point
A fountain that grows warm at midnight (adversity) illustrates how souls that are cold toward God in prosperity grow warm toward Him in suffering, a divine pedagogy of love.
