If some of my congregation knew me better, they would love me less.
Yet my heavenly Father knows me well,
favors me much, and
loves me wonderfully!
O how strange, that God should love a worm, a dung-hill worm, one who was bred in sin,
loved sin,
felt at home in sin, and
at times felt regret that he was debarred from some sins!
O if God had left me to myself, what would I have been, and what would I have done!
"But by the grace of God, I am what I am!" (1 Corinthians 15:10) Surely, surely, I must say, that divine love and wisdom have planned my path from first to last.
I am out of Hell,
on the way to Heaven,
employed by God,
useful to saints, and
a blessing to sinners!
O how wonderful, how wonderful is this!
[James Smith]
