Cheer up, O my soul, I see Jesus Christ, thy near kinsman, at God's right hand in glory, to whom 'all power is given in heaven and earth;' fear not, He is so nigh in blood to thee that He cannot be unmindful of thee, except He should do what is unnatural --- that is, 'hide Himself from His own flesh.'
Be anxious for nothing: thou hast a man in the state house above, thine own loving elder brother, full of fellow-feeling; having keen eyes to see; ears to hear the faintest sigh and so good, that He would have nothing come near thee that is not good for thee: whatever harms and hinders thee, would not He ever command nor permit toward thee!
Begun then unbelief: my Jesus, my shepherd brother, friend, my priest, prophet, my Lord, my life, my way and my end, shall bear me through all the changes in this world; keeping me from all ills, in this life and the next! Amen! -Ojo'je Ad'eyi _________________ Ojoje Adeyi
