in love. Henry Law. Gleanings from the Book of Life.
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should
be called children of God. 1 John 3. 1. Behold the overflowing
riches of the grace and love of Jesus. Every page of the Gospel
story teaches the love of His heart to His redeemed people. In love, he receives his people
as his own. Before the world was framed,
he inscribed them on the tablets of his heart. In love, he undertakes
their cause and espouses them as his bride. In love, He works
out for them a righteousness so bright, so perfect, so glorious,
that Jehovah's eye can find no flaw, no spot, no blemish in
it. In love, He beautifies them with
His shining robe and fits them for the banquet in the heaven
of heavens. In love, He guards them from
every foe and makes them more than conquerors over all the
hosts of darkness. In love, He causes all things
to work together for their good. In love, He leads them to lie
down in the rich pastures of Bible truth and instructs them
in the Word which is able to make them wise unto salvation. In love, He will come again to
receive them to Himself. In love, He will present them
pure and blameless to His Father with exceeding joy. In love, He will dwell among
them through the ages of eternity. I live by faith in the Son of
God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2, 20.
