86 "His compassions never fail."
"
This is an unspeakable mercy.
The sympathy of friends may fail.
The affection of relations may fail.
The tender mother’s love to her babe may fail.
But the compassion of our God is unfailing! It is . . .
an ocean which we can never exhaust;
a sun which will never set!
Believer, your God never was more compassionate than He now is.
His love was never more tender.
His grace was never more free.
Turn from your broken cisterns.
Turn from your withered gourds.
Turn from your dried brooks.
Turn from your gloomy feelings.
Turn from your painful circumstances.
And turn to your God, impressed with this fact, "His compassions never fail!"
He will have compassion on you!
He will bear with your infirmities.
He will pardon your sins.
He will sanctify your sorrows.
He will soothe your griefs.
He will restore your soul.
He will guide you with His counsel—and afterwards receive you to glory, for His compassions never fail!
