But let us not forget the vision that awaited these disciples with the coming of the dawn--the risen Jesus standing on the shore with his salutation of love and his strong help that instantly turned failure into blessing.

So over against every tempted, struggling, toiling life of Christian disciple, Christ is ever standing, ready to give victory and to guide to highest good.
Life would be easier for us all if we could realize the presence and actual help of Christ in all our experiences.

We need to care for only one thing--that we may be faithful always to duty, and loyal to our Master.

Then, the duller the round and the sorer the struggle, the surer we shall ever be of Christ's smile and help.

We may glory in infirmities, because then the power of God rests upon us.
It is not ordinarily in the easy ways, in the luxurious surroundings, in the paths of worldly honor, in the congenial lot, that the brightest heavenly visions are seen.
