“…my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee..”–Isaiah 54:10
“My kindness.” Oh what touching and impressive words are these! Human kindness is sweet and grateful–the kindness and love of the creature; what, then, must be divine kindness–the kindness and love of God? Oh how kind is Jesus! There is kindness in all He does and in all He says–kindness in His promises, kindness in His rebukes, kindness in what He gives, kindness in what He withholds, and kindness in what He recalls; kindness in every stroke of His rod, and kindness in every smile of His love. O! my Savior, how great Your kindness in bearing my sins, in calling me by Your effectual grace, in keeping me from falling by Your power, and in giving me a name and a place among Your saints.
