Work to Be Done for Our Children

eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy law,”
Psalm
119:18
. When the teacher will rely upon God in prayer, the Spirit
of Christ will come upon him, and God will work through him by
the Holy Spirit upon the mind of the student. The Holy Spirit fills
mind and heart with hope and courage and Bible imagery, which
will be communicated to the student. The words of truth will grow
in importance, and will assume a breadth and fullness of meaning
of which he has never dreamed. The beauty and virtue of the word
of God have a transforming influence upon mind and character; the
sparks of heavenly love will fall upon the hearts of the children as
an inspiration. We may bring hundreds and thousands of children to
Christ if we will work for them.—
