DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings 1; Jeremiah 9; Ephesians 3
Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad. Genesis 40:6
There were many things in Joseph’s life that could have made him insensitive to others problems. But Joseph did not allow this to blind him to the sorrows of his fellow prisoners. Even before they said a word, he knew that they were sad. Too often we become so absorbed by our own cares, that all we can think of is ourselves. How noble, even amid our own sorrows, to think of others. —W. H. Burnett
Be kind: so many hearts are sore and sad,
So many secret sorrows lie untold,
Deep in the hearts of those who seem so glad,
Sad things the silent lips can ne’er unfold.
Be kind. —I. Y. Ewan
