COME BOLDLY
"Let
us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain
mercy, and find grace to help in time of need"
-HEBREWS
4:16 [KJV]
We
are coming not to a throne of law nor to a throne of strict justice,
but to a THRONE OF GRACE. The words "throne," "majesty,"
"power," and "omnipotence" all leave me awed and
frightened; but the soft, gentle word "GRACE" stirs my
spirit and heart to venture nigh in sincerity, humility, and hope!
For though there are a thousand defects in my prayers, it is a throne
of GRACE. Though there are many defects in my knowledge, it is a
throne of GRACE. Though there are so many weaknesses in my spirit, it
is a throne of GRACE. Though my faith is so weak and dishonoring to
the King, it is a throne of GRACE. Grace loves, grace forgives, grace
abounds, grace is sufficient; and His grace is greater than all my
sins.
-Gospel report by preacher Henry T. Mahan
