Did faith ever contemplate, did hope ever anchor in, did love ever flow forth to the glorious Person of Immanuel? Was He ever precious to your souls? ever "altogether lovely" in your eyes? so that you could say, "Whom have I in heaven but T hee? and there is none upon earth I desire beside T hee?" Now, if you have seen His Per

Thus saith the L ORD ; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thy espousals, when thou wentest after M e in the wilderness.­I will remember M y covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish to thee an everlasting covenant.­I will visit you, and perform M y good word toward you.­for I know the thoughts that I think toward you saith the L ORD , thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are M y ways higher than your ways, and M y thoughts than your thoughts.­I would seek to God, and to God would I commit my cause: W ho doeth great things and unsearchable, wonderful things without number.­Many, O Lord my God, are T hy wonderful works which T hou hast done, and T hy thoughts which are toward us: they cannot be reckoned up in order to T hee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. - NEHEMIAH 5:19 ; J EREMIAH 2:2 ; E ZEKIEL 16:60 ; J E
