I will rejoice over them to do them good. Jeremiah 32:41
"We cannot see any reason in ourselves why the Lord should take
pleasure in us; we cannot take delight in ourselves, for we often have
to groan, being burdened; conscious of our sinfulness, and deploring our
unfaithfulness; ....
-----We do not find it written that even angels
give His soul delight...
-----but He does say all that to poor fallen creatures like ourselves,
debased and depraved by sin, but saved, exalted, and glorified by His
grace." Charles Spurgeon
