O, what blessing, what wondrous blessing, is brought home to the poor, aching, harassed, anxious soul, when it is given to see that that
God whom it despised, that Jesus whom it crucified, that Spirit whom it resisted, are for it! O, what gladness to receive daily proofs that it is one upon whom God is looking in love, in pity, and that He is for it! as the Lord, speaking of the children of Israel, says:
“I have surely seen the affliction of My people... and am come down to deliver them!” Ex. 3:7, 8
O, what wondrous extent of love! nor height nor depth can reach or fathom it!
