OCTOBER 29
Who shall describe it?
What tongue or pen can set it forth?
It is infinite, and what can finite mortals
say?
It is eternal, and how can we who are but of
yesterday declare it?
It is present heaven of the saints, to know
and believe the love that God HATH for them.
None can reveal it to us, or shed it abroad
in our hearts, but the Holy Ghost.
He can deliver our hearts into the love of
God and into patience of Jesus.
He is in office to show the saints the things
of God, and enable them to believe and enjoy them.
Let us, beloved, daily pray that we may know
and enjoy the love that God hath to us; it will be an antidote to all our miseries,
a source of joy under all our sorrows.
Our friends and frames may change, but the
love of God is unchangeable.
Our temporal prospects may be all blighted,
but if we know and enjoy the love of God, we cannot be unhappy.
WHO, OR WHAT SHALL SEPARETE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD?
Jesus has told us that we shall never perish,
neither shall any man pluck us out of His hand.
The love of God is in the source of our
happiness, and the cause of our safety.
Oh, to know and believe the love that God hath
to us!
GOD IS LOVE.
My loving God to praise?
The length, and breadth, and height to prove,
And depth of sovereign grace!
James Smith
