"I have loved thee with an everlasting love." - Jeremiah 31:3.
God considered that this life of ours is very short, very fugitive, and that crowd it as he might with expressions of his kindness, he never would be able to give anything like a sufficient revelation of his love. So he resolved to take time beforehand, a great deal of it, and fill all heaven and earth, from the very beginning on continuously, with the manifestations of his love to the creature that was to live in this our day, was to hover for a little about the middle of this century, and then be gone. When by the recovering grace of Christ we have been brought to take delight in the knowledge of the love of God, we find that God was mindful of us, in the far off days of a by-gone eternity; and myriads of years ago placed in the depths of space suns, whose rays swift-traveling, should reach our locality in our day, and assure us that he thought of us. When the morning stars first sang together, he thought of us; and scarce had the transgression of Adam brought a curse upon the world in which we were to have existence, when God hastened to announce that in the fulness of time, his own Son should come into the world, and absorb in his own person the manifold curse. If we labor in vain to find the beginning of this love, much more shall we labor in vain to learn the future duration of it.
