He would deny us nothing! ',

Back to The Pastor's Evening Visit


"Show Your marvellous loving-kindness." Psalm 17:7

He has already shown it—by taking us into the nearest, sweetest, and most profitable relation to Himself!

What love, to call a worm—His dear child!

What love, to call a sinful and polluted worm—His beloved bride!

Loving-kindness, is love in the most attractive form; love acting in the kindest manner; or, love robed in tenderness and benevolence.

To show marvellous loving-kindness, is to bestow distinguished favours, such as reason or custom could not warrant us to expect; favours which only a God of love could bestow! Yet such favours we may ask in faith—and expect! 

Beloved, never forget—our God rejoices and He delights to give us good things!

If we were but humble, simple-minded, living in the daily exercise of faith—He would deny us nothing! 

We have not—but it is because we ask not, or because we ask in an improper spirit, or with an unfitting design—that we may consume it upon our lusts!
