What a family has He to bear with


(Letters of John Newton)

"The Lord is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion!" Numbers 14:18  

What a family has He to bear with! 


Those whom he has graciously saved, have secret idols in their hearts! 

His friends hold a secret correspondence with His enemies! 

His children repine against Him, and quarrel one with another! 

His servants (ministers) serve themselves!

"But You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness!" Psalm 86:1
