“These things have I
spoken unto you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made
full.” John 15:11
(From Watchman Nee’s
lost letter, dated April 22, 1972 , in his sixty-ninth
year, after twenty years in confinement and shortly before his
death.)
You know my physical
condition. It is chronic illness—it is always with me. When strikes, it causes
pain. Even if it should be dormant, it is nonetheless there. The difference is
whether it strikes or not. Recovery is out of the question. In summer the sun
can add some color to my skin, but it cannot cure my illness. But I maintain
the joy in me.
Please don‘t be
anxious. I hope you will also take good care of yourself, and be filled with
joy! All the best to you.
