Do you comprehend the breadth, length, depth, and height of God's thoughts about that divine Person-you, a creature of yesterday! Look back these thousands of years-that One whom man sailed to the cross and put out of the way, was there creating the world! And then, as man,. God showed that a person was there able to deal with sinners, with the worst, making them a part of the bride.
As a man, all human affections are in His heart. We know, if we believe that there is love in the heart of anyone toward us, how we rest on him. Ah! there is a volume of love in His heart, and it is fixed on each individual given Him by the Father.
It is not length, depth, breadth, and height abstractly; there is a center-Himself. I know that the God-man who loves me is the center of all God's thoughts and counsels; my heart is resting on the very object which God's heart rests on, and all that is precious to God is mine.
