And now here are some of the ways God has taken to tell you of his love:
Psalm 103:13: "Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord
pitieth them that fear him." Isaiah 49:15: "Can a woman forget her
suckling child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her
womb? yea, they may forget, yet I will not forget thee." Luke 11:13: "If
ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how
much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that
ask him?" Luke 18:13-14: "And the publican, standing afar off, would not
lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,
saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you this man went down
to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that
exalteth himself shall be abased, and he that humbleth himself shall be
exalted." Luke 15:7: "I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in
heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine
just persons, which need no repentance." Luke 15:10: "Likewise I say
unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one
sinner that repenteth." Luke 7:36-50: "And one of the Pharisees desired
him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house,
and sat down to meat. And behold a woman in the city, which was a
sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house,
brought an alabaster box of ointment, and stood at his feet behind him
weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with
the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the
ointment.
