How comprehensive
is the love of Jesus!
There is no part of his people's interests which he does not
consider,
and there is nothing which concerns their welfare which is not important to him.
and there is nothing which concerns their welfare which is not important to him.
Not merely does he think of you, believer, as an immortal
being, but as a mortal being too….
“The very hairs of your head are all numbered.”
“The steps of
a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.”
It were a sad thing for us if this
mantle of love did not cover all our concerns, for what mischief might be
wrought to us in that part of our business which did not come under our
gracious Lord's inspection!
Believer,
rest assured
that the heart of Jesus cares about your meaner affairs.
rest assured
that the heart of Jesus cares about your meaner affairs.
The breadth of his tender love is such that you may resort to
him in all matters;
for in all your afflictions he is afflicted,
and like as a father pitieth his children, so doth he pity you.
for in all your afflictions he is afflicted,
and like as a father pitieth his children, so doth he pity you.
The meanest interests of all his saints are all borne upon the broad bosom of the Son of God.
Oh,
what
a heart is his,
that doth not merely comprehend the persons of his people,
but comprehends also the diverse and innumerable concerns of all those persons!
Dost thou think, O Christian, that thou canst measure the love of Christ? Think of what his love has brought thee—
justification,
adoption,
sanctification,
eternal life!

The riches of his goodness are unsearchable;
thou shalt never be able to tell them out or even conceive them.
thou shalt never be able to tell them out or even conceive them.
Oh, the breadth of the love of Christ! Shall such a love as this have half our hearts?
O my soul, tune thy harp to a glad song of thanksgiving!
Go to thy
rest rejoicing,
for thou art no desolate wanderer,
but a beloved child,
watched over,
cared for, supplied,
and defended by thy Lord.

For the Lord
takes delight in His people.
