It is very seldom thought that God will excuse you if you want to be excused. He does not wish to do it, but He will do it.
Look at the Jewish nation. They wanted to be excused from the feast. It is easy to say, "I pray thee have me excused." But by and by God may take you at your word and say, "Yes, I will excuse you.”
In that lost world, oh despiser of God's grace, while others who have accepted the invitation sit down to the marriage supper of the Lamb in heaven, you will be crying in the company of the lost: "The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and I am not saved.”
O sinner, thine ears have been deaf to His voice,
Thine eyes to His glory been dim;
The calls of thy Savior have so wearied thee,
Oh, what if they should weary Him?
