Psalm 22:14-18 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the middle of my bowels.… It is strange to think that any man should think lightly of sin viewed in the light of Calvary Cross. It has a wonderful power and influence if you would view it aright. One day a little girl, sitting by her mother's side, gazed very intently at her parent's hand. A mere stranger would have said, "What a deformity!" as the hand was blurred and twisted. The girl asked her mother why the hand was different to the other. The mother told her that years ago when her little child was a baby the cot in which she lay caught fire, and her mother in her terror and anxiety tore off the curtains to stop the flames and wrap the child in. In doing so she so burned her hand that for months after she was unable to use it. You can think how the child's love multiplied beyond all words as she heard the story. Her future delight was to save that injured hand all the work she could possibly.
