“Marvellous lovingkindness.” — Psalm 17:7
When we give our hearts with our alms, we give well, but we must often plead to a failure in this respect. Not so our Master and our Lord. His favours are always performed with the love of His heart. He does not send to us the cold meat and the broken pieces from the table of His luxury, but He dips our morsel in His own dish, and seasons our provisions with the spices of His fragrant affections. When He puts the golden tokens of His grace into our palms, He accompanies the gift with such a warm pressure of our hand, that the manner of His giving is as precious as the boon itself. He will come into our houses upon His errands of kindness, and He will…
not act as some austere visitors do in the poor man’s cottage, but He sits
by our side, not despising our poverty, nor blaming our weakness.
Beloved, with what smiles does He speak! What golden sentences drop
from His gracious lips! What embraces of affection does He bestow upon
us! If He had but given us farthings, the way of His giving would have
gilded them; but as it is, the costly alms are set in a golden basket by His
pleasant carriage. It is impossible to doubt the sincerity of His charity, for
there is a bleeding heart stamped upon the face of all His benefactions. He
giveth liberally and upbraideth not. Not one hint that we are burdensome
to Him; not one cold look for His poor pensioners; but He rejoices in His
mercy, and presses us to His bosom while He is pouring out His life for
us. There is a fragrance in His spikenard which nothing but His heart could
produce; there is a sweetness in His honey-comb which could not be in it
unless the very essence of His soul’s affection had been mingled with it.
Oh! the rare communion which such singular heartiness effecteth! May we
continually taste and know the blessedness of it!
