GoogleWith the rich promises of the
Bible before you, can you give place to doubt? Can you believe that when the poor sinner
longs to return, longs to forsake his sins, the Lord sternly withholds him from coming to
His feet in repentance? Away with such thoughts! Nothing can hurt your own soul more than
to entertain such a conception of our heavenly Father. He hates sin, but He loves the
sinner, and He gave Himself in the person of Christ, that all who would might be saved and
have eternal blessedness in the kingdom of glory. What stronger or more tender language
could have been employed than He has chosen in which to express His love toward us? He
declares, "Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion
on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee." Isaiah
49:15.
