Ps. 103:13. >> >> Our God should be regarded as a tender, merciful father. The service >> of >> God should not be looked upon as a heart-saddening, distressing exercise. >> It >> should be a pleasure to worship the Lord and to take part in His work. As >> the people of God meditate upon the plan of salvation their hearts will >> be >> melted in love and gratitude. . . . >> >> God would not have His children, for whom so great a salvation has >> been >> provided, act as though He were a hard, exacting taskmaster. He is their >> best friend, and when they worship Him, He expects to be with them to >> bless >> and comfort them and fill their hearts with joy and love. The Lord >> desires >> His children to take comfort in His service, and to find more pleasure >> than >> hardship in His work. The Lord desires that those who come to worship Him >> shall carry away with them precious thoughts of His care and love that >> they >> may be cheered in all the employments of daily life, that they may have >> grace to deal honestly and faithfully in all things. . . . >> >> We dishonor God when we think of Him only as a judge ready to pass >> sentence upon us, and forget that He is a loving Father. The whole >> spiritual >> life is molded by our conceptions of God, and if we cherish erroneous >> views >> of His character, our souls will sustain injury. We should see in God one >> who yearns toward the children of men, longing to do them good. . . . All >> through the Scriptures, God is represented as one who calls, woos by His >> tender love, the hearts of His erring children. No earthly parent could >> be >> as patient with the faults and mistakes of their children as is God with >> those He seeks to save. No one could plead more tenderly with the >> transgressor. No human lips ever poured out more tender entreaty to the >> wanderer than does He. O shall we not love God, and show our love by >> humble >> obedience? Let us have a care for our thoughts, our experiences, our >> attitude toward God, for all His promises are but the breathings of >> unutterable love. >> >>>From That I May Know Him - Page 263 >> >> >> > >> > > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Deaf-Blind Inspirational Life Group" group.
