"My mercy will I keep for him for evermore." - Psalms 89:28.
Ever bestowed, never exhausted. The vessel that contains it is one that can never be emptied. God himself is a vessel of mercy to communicate mercy to me; and I am a vessel of mercy to receive that mercy. To say that God will keep mercy is to say that God will keep himself. There is mercy in him and I am its object. Mercy first makes me an appropriate object for itself, and ever after keeps me so. I can say to my soul, " Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years: laid up too in a granary safer than any granary of earth; enough for thy wants in time and in eternity; eat, drink, and take thine ease. Eat the food of angels; drink the water of life; experience the true rest of the soul in Christ."
