How divinely full of glory and pleasure shall that hour be when all the millions of mankind that have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb of God shall meet together and stand around Him, with every tongue and every heart full of joy and praise! How astonishing will be the glory and the joy of that day when all the saints shall join together in one common song of gratitude and love, and of everlasting thankfulness to this Redeemer! With that unknown delight, and inexpressible satisfaction, shall all that are saved from the ruins of sin and hell address the Lamb that was slain, and rejoice in His presence!

There are joys which long to be ours. God sends ten thousands truths, which come about us like birds seeking inlet; but we are shut up to them, and so they bring us nothing, but sit and sing awhile upon the roof, and then fly away.

How can a humble God walk with a proud people? That’s why He wants to make you humble, He wants to walk with you! He wants to dwell in you! He wants you to be the house in which He would dwell and live and move and express Himself in the earth and in the heavens!

And thine ears shall hear a voice behind thee saying This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand and when ye turn to the left.

Isaiah 30:21

O wondrous love! to bleed and die,
To bear the cross and shame,
That guilty sinners, such as I,
Might plead Thy gracious Name.

“Poor tempest-tossèd soul, be still;
My promised grace receive”;
’Tis Jesus speaks—I must, I will,
I can, I do believe.

– John Newton –

God hold us to that which drew us first, when the Cross was the attraction, and we wanted nothing else.
