How Long Will We Wait?

The Lord ever pleads with us to come to Him, the Author and Preserver of life, the Giver of all good, the eternal Saviour and King. By His kind providences, His created works, His holy word, His ministers of grace, and by His Holy Spirit—through all He pleads with every heart, “Come unto Me, and live;” “Turn ye, O turn ye, for why will ye die?” How long will you wait, dear soul? The danger is not in God’s goodness, but persistent refusals of His offered love will at last harden your own heart and benumb your own sensibilities till you will no longer recognize His voice nor care to hear. There is only the hope that perisheth elsewhere. Why hesitate about accepting God?
