"Who can utter the mighty acts of The LORD? Who can shew forth all His praise?" [Psa 106:2] The LORD is “plenteous in mercy.” [Psa 86:5] He is abounding in mercy, compassion, pity.

"As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters." [Song 2:2] In Samuel we read of “the sons of Belial,” who are like, “thorns [which are] thrust away.” These men are like thorns; the man who goes to lay hold of them will quickly have to pull his hand back, lest he …

[Psa 107:20] In Luke, the angel Gabriel tells Mary an encouraging truth, reminding her, and us, of an eternal consolation.

Jesus’ Infinitely Loving Heart
"O ye Corinthians, our mouth has been opened unto you, our heart has been made large." [2 Cor 6:11] God tells us in Corinthians, regarding love, that it “seeketh not her own;” [1 Cor 13:5] that is, one mark of God’s true and eternal love, which type of love only finds its source in Him …
Utterly Forgiven
"Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away." [Psa 65:3] Paul tells us of the simple gospel when he writes to the Corinthians; we read, taking note of the bold text, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and …
