Comfort For The Christians Believers From The Word Of God

Comfort For The Christians Believers From The Word Of God
"Taken from CH Spurgeon's Morning and Evening, 21 September, Morning " BELIEVER ENCOURAGEMENTS: "I will rejoice over them to do them good." - Jeremiah 32:41How heart-cheering to the believer is the delight which God has in his saints! We cannot see any reason in ourselves why the Lord should take pleasure in us; we cannot take delight in ourselves, for we often have to groan, being burdened; conscious of our sinfulness, and deploring our unfaithfulness; and we fear that God's people cannot take much delight in us, for they must perceive so much of our imperfections and our follies, that they may rather lament our infirmities than admire our graces. But we love to dwell upon this transcendent truth, this glorious mystery: that as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so does the Lord rejoice over us. We do not read anywhere that God delighteth in the cloud-capped mountains, or the sparkling stars, but we do read that he delighteth in the habitable parts of the earth, and that his delights are with the sons of men. We do not find it written that even angels give his soul delight; nor doth he say, concerning cherubim and seraphim, "Thou shalt be called Hephzibah, for the Lord delighteth in thee"; but he does say all that to poor fallen creatures like ourselves, debased and depraved by sin, but saved, exalted, and glorified by his grace. In what strong language he expresses his delight in his people! Who could have conceived of the eternal One as bursting forth into a song? Yet it is written, "He will rejoice over thee with joy, he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing." As he looked upon the world he had made, he said, "It is very good"; but when he beheld those who are the purchase of Jesus' blood, his own chosen ones, it seemed as if the great heart of the Infinite could restrain itself no longer, but overflowed in divine exclamations of joy. Should not we utter our grateful response to such a marvellous declaration of his love, and sing, "I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation?""Taken from Charles H Spurgeon's Morning and Evening, 21 September, Morning "On this site you can also find: Encouragements for Christian / Christian encouragements / Encouragements Quotes / Poem encouraging believers / Christian encouragement quotes / simple Christian sermons on encouragement / christian encouragements / biblical sermon on encouragement / Christian bookmark templates / 2010 Christian calendar template / Free printable Bible quotes / Free encouraging sermons / Biblical verse of encouragement for the believers and sermons / Free Christian encouraging images / Free christian encouraging pictures / Christian encouragements phrases FREE CHRISTIAN BOOKMARKS TEMPLATES: Various Bible verses, Birthday Prayer, All things for good, God is our refuge and strength, God's Grace, Strength from God, Prayers, With God all things are possible, God holds my tomorrow, Help me to remember, Lord, nothings gonna happen today that you and I can't handle together, The Cross in My Pocket, Whatever our need, When there seems no way out, let God in, You are never alone, Chinese Bible verses FREE CHRISTIAN CALENDARS 2010 AND FREE CHRISTIAN PLANNERS 2010: Christian Calendar 2010 Design 1, Christian Calendar 2010 Design 2, Christian Planner 2010, Singapore Christian Calendar Design 1, Singapore Christian Calendar Design 2, Singapore Christian Calendar Design 3, Singapore Christian Planner 2010FREE CHRISTIAN CARDS TEMPLATES: A Special Birthday Prayer for You, Christian cards with Bible verses, God holds my tomorrow, Whatever our need, With God all things are possible, Your Friendship is a Blessing
