Amen to your Beautiful Offerings to our King!

My Soul was Edified this Morning as I Read One of our Brother William Cowper's Letters; his Exhortations and Faith in our Lord are Wonderful:

...I Bear you and yours Upon my Heart Night and Day, for I Never Expect to Hear of Distress which Shall Call Upon me with a Louder Voice to Pray for the Sufferer. I Know the Lord Hears me for myself, Vile and Sinful as I am, and Believe and am Sure that He will Hear me for you Also. He is the Friend of the Widow, and the Father of the Fatherless, Even God in His Holy Habitation; in All our Afflictions He is Afflicted, and He Chastens us in Mercy. Surely He will Sanctify this Dispensation to you, Do you Great and Everlasting Good by it, Make the World Appear Like Dust and Vanity in your Sight, as it Truly is, and Open to your View the Glories of a Better Country, where there Shall be No More Death, Neither Sorrow or Pain, but God Shall Wipe Away All Tears from your Eyes Forever. O that Comfortable Word! "I have Chosen thee in the Furnace of Affliction;" so that our Very Sorrows are Evidences of His Calling, and He Chastens us because we are His Children.

My Dear Cousin, I Commit you to the Word of His Grace, and to the Comforts of His Holy Spirit...yours, in our Dear Lord Jesus, W.C. Aug. 31, 1769"

Thank You, our Savior, for Giving us Exhortations from your Beloved Saints. You are So Gracious and Your Kindness Refreshes our Lives. Merciful, So Merciful, is our Wonderous Lord of Love. "God, my God, how Great You are! Beautifully Robed, Dressed Up in Sunshine." (Ps.104:2) "He Rules Over All; He's the King!" (Ps.103:19) We Worship You, Lord God Almighty, our Father. In Jesus' Name, we Love and Praise You, amen.
