His Offspring.—God never forsakes his offspring. He does not cast off his children when they have fallen into sin. He fills every relationship in life. He is to us a Father, Mother,—“As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you”—Brother, Friend,—everything. But we are always children as far as he is concerned, “little children,” babes, also. We are to grow in grace and increase in knowledge; and yet in growing from infancy to old age, or from first conversion to ripened Christian experience, we do not at all diminish the difference between us and God in knowledge and understanding. God will always be infinitely above us, so that the wisest man will always be less, as compared with him, than the little babe is as compared with its parent.
