Admin	What a delightful and astonishing thought it is! Posted : 23 May, 2011 07:24 PM What a delightful and astonishing thought it is! (James Smith, "Christ Exalted, Saints Comforted, and Sinners Directed" 1855) "Since you were precious in My sight--you have been honorable, and I have loved you." Isaiah 43:4 What marvelous grace is here! What a delightful and astonishing thought it is--that such poor, vile, rebellious creatures--should be precious to the infinite, holy, and eternal Jehovah! That He should delight in us! (Isaiah 62:4) That He should shed His precious blood for us! (1 Peter 1:19) That He should work precious faith in us! (2 Peter 1:1) That He should make precious promises--to support, supply, and comfort us! (2 Peter 1:4) That He should render Christ precious unto us! (1 Peter 2:7) That He should indulge us with a knowledge of His thoughts, and make them precious to us! (Psalm 139:17) That He should call us His precious children! Well may we exclaim with David, "What am I--that You should be mindful of me?" ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Post Reply
