What glorious mercy, and wonderful largess, God is so very generous with His grace... pouring it out in rich abundance on all whom He determines to love... the gift of His call to us, to a people NOT called by His name, a people NOT called His own, to a people NOT marked out for His own inheritance, and then suddenly, wondrously, magnificently, we are!! And more, because He is such a good God, He calls to the earth and the earth gives its bounty, the fruit of the field, the blessing of its harvest, full, rich, powerful, abundance... and all for us, who in our arrogance thought we could do all without Him, all on our own. What pitiful fools we are, and still Good in His glorious love and mercy, gives us all we need. Praise Him, chosen one, you who were not His own, and yet now are His own. Praise Him for His mercy and goodness to you!!
