A GOD OF LOVE.

OMNIPOTENCE may build a thousand worlds and fill them with bounties; Omnipotence may powder mountains into dust, and burn the sea, and consume the sky, but Omnipotence can not do an unloving thing toward a believer. O, rest quiet, sure, Christian, a hard thing, an unloving thing from God toward one of His own people, is quite impossible! He is as kind to you when He casts you into prison as when He takes you into a palace; He is as good when He sends famine into your house as when He fills your barns with plenty. The only question is, Art thou His child? If so, He hath rebuked thee in affection, and there is love in His chastisement.—Anon.
