Free grace and love!
Winslow, "The Burden Cast upon God"
All that we receive from the Lord, we receive
as the gift of His most free grace and love!
The believer sees and tastes free grace and
love in every blessing of His Heavenly Father.
He traces free grace and love....
in the sun that cheers him,
in the spring that refreshes him,
in the breeze that fans him,
in the flowers that delight him.
He sees free grace and love....
in the love that comforts him,
in the friendship that strengthens him,
in the sympathy that soothes him,
in the outstretched hand that relieves his need.
No, more.
The child of God sees free grace and love....
in every cloud that darkens,
in every sorrow that embitters,
in every disappointment that wounds, and
in every burden that crushes.
But infinitely beyond all, he sees
and tastes free grace and love....
in the blood that pardons him,
in the righteousness that justifies him,
in the love that adopts him,
in the voice that effectually calls him, and
in the promises that engage to bring him home to glory!
