"Just roll the burden on the Lord"

...The secret of His own strength was not far to seek. whenever work permitted,Mr. Taylor was in the habit of turning to a song for refreshment, playing and singing many a favorite hymn but always coming back to- Jesus, Am resting, resting, in the joy of what thou art; I am finding out the greatness of thy loving heart. One of the evangelists, Mr.Nichol, was with him when some letters came to Mr. Taylor's office, bringing news of serious rioting in two of the mission stations. Mr. Nichol thought that Mr. Taylor wanted to be alone,so he started to leave,when someone began to whistle, it was Mr. Taylor! "Jesus I am resting, resting, in the joy of what thou art...." "How can you whistle when our friends are in so much danger?" exclaimed Mr. Nichol. "Would you have me be anxious and troubled?" was the quiet reply. "That would not help them and certainly incapacitate me for my work. I have just to roll the burden on the Lord." Day and night this was his secret, "just to roll the burden on the Lord." Those awake in the house, at two or three in the morning might hear Mr. Taylor singing his favorite hymn. He learned that,for him, only one life was possible- just that blessed life of resting and rejoicing in the Lord under all circumstances,while he dealt with difficulties, inward and outward, great and small. ~~ This was taken from the book, Hudson Taylor's Spiritual Secret.
