Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? Psalms 106:2. That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth. Psalms 83:18.
Unutterable are God’s acts to the world and to His children. He who considers God’s works by the light of the Holy Spirit, has delight in them; his heart rejoices and is blessed. Wherever we turn, we see Him; we see His hand, which produces all things: we must admire and worship. All His works are pure effects of His unspeakable love to man. But among all God’s works there is none that appears to us more beautiful and glorious than our redemption; His love to sinners; His open bosom; His arms stretching forth day and night to a rebellious people; this faithfulness, longsuffering, patience and kindness with which He receives sinners; raises up the fallen; goes after the lost; carries the weak, and strengthens the faint. Who can describe all the beauty to be found in Christ? Experience it, O heart! Place yourself beneath the cross of Christ and look your fill at His love and beauty. Then surely He will receive praise and adoration from you also for all that you have seen and heard, enjoyed or anticipated. May Jesus forever be your all in all; the highest, the best, the most beautiful, and the dearest in the whole world.
Fair are the meadows.
Fairer the woodlands,
Robed in flowers of blooming spring;
Jesus is fairer,
Jesus is purer;
He makes our sorrowing spirit sing.
