God's Mercy: Quotations from Burning Words

Depth of mercy! - can there be Mercy still reserved for me ? Can my God His wrath forbear? Me, the chief of sinners, spare?— CHARLES WESLEY

God's mercy is a holy mercy, which knows how to pardon sin, not to protect it; it is a sanctuary for the penitent, not for the presumptuous.— BISHOP REYNOLDS

And now we beseech of Thee that we may have every day some such sense of God's mercy and of the power of God about us, as we have of the fullness of the light of heaven before us.— H. W. BEECHER

The cry of distress lays hold of our Lord's omnipotence. It is as easy for God to supply thy greatest as thy smallest wants, even as it was within His power to form a system or an atom, to create a blazing sun as to kindle the fire-fly's lamp.— THOMAS GUTHRIE

It is impossible for the mind which is not totally destitute of piety, to behold the sublime, the awful, the amazing works of creation and providence - the heavens with their luminaries, the mountains, the ocean, the storm, the earthquake, the volcano, the circuit of the seasons, and the revolutions of empires without marking in them all the mighty hand of God, and feeling strong emotions of reverence toward the Author of these stupendous works.— TIMOTHY DWIGHT,

The Divine work, because it is such work, is rest - tranquil in its energy, quiet in its intensity; because so mighty, therefore so still. The same Being that fashioned the insect, whose existence is only discerned by a microscope, and gave that invisible speck a system of ducts and other organs to perform its vital functions, created the enormous mass of the planet thirteen hundred times larger than our earth, and launched it in its course round the sun, and the comet, wheeling with a velocity that would carry it round our globe in less than two minutes of time, and yet revolving through so prodigious a space that it takes near six centuries to encircle the sun!— LORD BROUGHAM
