compassion." Here is the cause! Chosen in Christ before the
world began; given to Christ in the councils of eternity; called;
justified; and in due time glorified when the work of
sanctification shall be complete. This is the glorious mystery
which keeps the poor believing sinner low at the feet of Jesus!
Boasting is here excluded! A sinner saved, fully and eternally
saved through the all sufficient merit and atoning blood of Christ
the Lord. It is a free grace salvation! Without money, without price!
No other would have saved such a sinner as me! If there had been
anything necessary in me, I would have been lost to all
eternity! It is a free grace salvation!

My heart feels for you, my dear friend, in your deep, deep
trial. This present world is a world of sadness; but when we think
of that glorious world which is to come, into which sorrow never
enters, and how soon we may be there--we may well "rejoice in
tribulation." Our "light affliction, which is but for a moment,
works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory!"
In all your sorrows, pour out your heart to the Man of sorrows. He will
bow down His ear and listen to all that you say. He will
either remove or moderate your trial, or give you strength to bear it.
Even this bitter draught He has given you to drink shall result
both in your good and His glory.
Remember, not a sparrow falls upon the ground without His
guidance, and that the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
How much more has this trying event been ordered and arranged by
Him who loves you! Infinite wisdom has appointed the
whole! Never doubt that He loves you, when He most deeply
afflicts.
