Loved with Everlasting Love

“And of Benjamin He said, the beloved of the LORD, shall dwell in safety by Him

and the LORD shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between His shoulders."

(Deuteronomy 33:12)

He loves us so freely, so fully and forevermore, it is a little thing for us to love Him with a little love here and there. I dare say, my dear friends, you are sometimes concerned about your love to Him, it seems so small; there does not seem much in your heart to draw Him to you or commend you to His notice. But God looks at His Dear Son and at what you are in Him and never expects you to be fit for His presence apart from His Dear Son therefore it is well for you to consider that your meetness and fitness are all in Jesus Christ. There is none else-where God has not given me to see the least fitness in any other place and I am sure He never will. "The beloved of the LORD," loved with an Everlasting Love because God would love—loved before the foundation of the world—yes, from all eternity! Loved before we are called by Grace, loved at calling and loved forever! Afterwards loved, when walking in the Way of God's steps and rejoicing in His presence and loved while clouds and darkness are round about Him and when we are passing through seasons of depression, gloom and sorrow of heart. Loved when we seem shut up at the throne of Grace and in reading and hearing the Word.
