Is it possible, that such poor, depraved, unworthy creatures can be the objects of Jehovah's delight? Yes! The infinite love of God has been fixed upon us from eternity! Because He loved and chose us, He sent His only-begotten Son to die for us! He sent His Holy Spirit into our hearts to regenerate us!
Every believer, though his faith is weak, his fears are many, his corruptions are strong, his troubles are great, and his temptations are sore is the object of Jehovah's delight!
Let us therefore endeavor to pass through this day, yes, and every day believing and realizing: "I am Jehovah's delight! I am the object of His highest love! I am the subject of His sweetest thoughts! I am His portion for evermore!"
O incomparable privilege!
Wondrous source of comfort, holiness, and love!
You have more cause for gratitude than an angel!
