Believer, is thy heart hard, wandering, unbelieving , or wounded? Jesus can heal it, and to you He says, "Come and be healed." He restores the fainting, the dying and the dead. He is the perfect master of every disease. His terms are "No money: no price!"
But He will have an absolute surrender to Him: you must refuse all other medicines; take all He prescribes, bitter or sweet. Touch - Trust - and be happy. Jesus is JEHOVAH ROPHI, therefore look for health to no other. Lodge in His neighbourhood. Consult Him daily. Lay open your whole case to Him. Never despond until His nature changes, His skill fails, or His advertisement is withdrawn from the book of God.
Be grateful for healing, and show your gratitude by endeavouring to send others to Him. Recommend this gracious Physician. Trust Him and remember His question, "Were there not ten cleansed, but where are the nine? They are not found that return to give glory to God, save this stranger." Beloved, come to Jesus and be healed; and be sure you render again according to the mercy shown you.
Saviour, I wait Thy healing hand! Diseases fly at Thy command; Now let Thy sovereign touch impart, Life, health, and vigour to my heart.
Written by James Smith for his own flock around 1840, but such was the demand that by 1846 over thirty thousand copies where in circulation.
James Smith was a predecessor of Charles Spurgeon at New Park Street Chapel in London from 1841-1850. He also ministered with great blessing in Cheltenham. His devotional, The Believer's Daily Remembrancer, subtitled Pastor's Morning and Evening Visit, was very popular in its own day, and has received a new lease of life through recent republication.
