All the Effect of Redeeming Love

My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away…My beloved is mine, and I am his… – Song of Solomon 2:10, 16

Walk humbly with your God. – Micah 6:8

Know that He is your God, be sure of it, come up from the wilderness leaning upon your Beloved. Have no doubt, nor even the shadow of a doubt, that you are your Beloved’s, and that He is yours. Rest not for a moment if there is any question upon this blessed subject. He gives Himself to you; take Him to be yours by a covenant of salt that never shall be broken; and give yourself to Him, saying, “I am my Beloved’s, and my Beloved is mine.” “Walk humbly with thy God.” Let not anything draw you away from that confidence; but then, in comes the humility. This is all of grace; this is all the result of divine election; therefore, be humble. You have not chosen Christ, but He has chosen you. This is all the effect of redeeming love; therefore, be humble. You are not your own, you are bought with a price; so you can have no room to glory. This is all the work of the Spirit.

“Then give all the glory to His holy name,
To Him all the glory belongs.”

“Walk humbly with thy God.” I lie at His feet as one unworthy, and cry, “Whence is this to me? I am not worthy of the least of the mercies that Thou hast made to pass before me.” ~ C.H. Spurgeon
