I'm waking up today aware that apart from His grace, I am just so quick to discouragement. I'm seeking to cling to these things today:
From Spurgeon's Morning & Evening:
"Long ere time began or space was created God had written upon His heart the names of His elect people, had predestinated them to be conformed unto the image of His Son, and ordained them heirs of all the fulness of His love, His grace, and His glory. What comfort is here! Has the Lord loved us so long, and will He yet cast us away? He knew how stiffnecked we should be, He understood that our hearts were evil, and yet He made the choice."
"But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ-by grace you have been saved." Ephesians 2:4,5
Could there be any better reason to rejoice today?
Thanks for sharing this wonderful reminder!
