God’s Pity for His Unworthy Children
By C. H. Cole
SR. C. H. COLE writes from Marshall, Mich.: Oh! what condescension on the part of God to do so much for his remnant church! He brings us near by the way of the cross. I know it sometimes looks heavy to us lonely ones. We are as a wonder unto many. We often feel as Job felt, when he said, My friends scorn me, but mine eye poureth out tears unto God. But the thought that we are on the Lord's side, cheers our fainting spirits, and gives us courage to continue in the path of duty. I feel that I am wonderfully indebted to God for his longsuffering and mercy toward me. I would that it were in my power to return to him suitable offerings. All I have given him is simply nothing but a sinful heart to make pure. Words cannot express how much I thank him for preparing my heart to receive present truth, that I may be hid in the day of the Lord's anger. When the great day of his wrath is come, who shall be able to stand? The overcomer will be able. I must overcome. I have feared that the Lord would become weary of me, because of this continued cry of unworthiness. I confess I am still unworthy, but now he reminds me of his pity. Bless his holy name. Yes, like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. For knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. “Precious promise! how I love thee!
I will claim thee as my own;
For I need thee—greatly need thee,
Since I cannot stand alone.”
