Decades earlier, John Ruskin was the greatest art critic of the 1800’s and interestingly a close friend of Charles Hadden Spurgeon and even attended the Metropolitan Tabernacle. But, he preferred the finer things of this life to the hereafter.Ruskin was mentoring a young artist named Lillias Trotter. They would sketch scenes of London, and Ruskin said that ‘she seemed to learn everything the instant she was shown it’. He would go on to say that ‘She would be the greatest living painter and do things that would be immortal!’But unlike Ruskin, Trotter had other priorities. She left England as a single female missionary in the 1800s to the Muslims of North Africa.

O soul are you weary and troubledNo light in the darkness you see?There’s light for a look at the saviorAnd life more abundant and freeTurn your eyes upon JesusLook full in His wonderful faceAnd the things of earth will grow strangely dimIn the light of his glorious graceThro’ death into life everlasting,He passed, and we follow Him there;O’er us sin no more hath dominionFor more than conqu’rors we are!
