Our life is like the dial of a clock. The hands are God's hands, passing over and over again. The short hand is the Hand of discipline, and the long hand the Hand of mercy.
Slowly and surely the Hand of discipline must pass, and God speaks at each stroke. But over and over passes the Hand of mercy, showering down sixty-fold of blessings for each stroke of discipline and trial. Be assured that both hands are fastened to one secure pivot: the great unchanging heart of a God of love.
"Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins." 1 John 4:1010Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1 John 4:10).
