Thought for August 19

[Thompson, Darryl]

     No earthly parent could be as patient with the faults and mistakes
of his children, as is God with those He seeks to save. No one could
plead more tenderly with the transgressor. No human lips ever poured out
more tender entreaties to the wanderer than does He. All His promises,
His warnings, are but the breathing of unutterable love.  Steps to
Christ, p. 35
