GRACE!

   ~  ~  ~  ~

    (John Mason's Spiritual Sayings)

*The goodness of God satisfies our emptiness,
  the mercy of God satisfies our sinfulness, and
  the grace of God satisfies our unworthiness.
 

*What sin is there, which grace cannot pardon?
  What heart is there, which grace cannot soften?
  What soul is there, which grace cannot save?
 

*The more God's justice was magnified in His Son--
  the more was His grace magnified in the sinner.
 

*God humbled His holy Son--to exalt His saving grace.
 

*God's faithfulness performed what His grace promised.
  Grace drew the covenant--faithfulness keeps it.
  Grace called us--faithfulness will not cast us off.
 

*Abusers of God's grace--are treasurers up of His wrath!
 

*There is grace in the desire for grace
  --as there is sin in the desire for sin.
 

*Though God in grace has done great things for you--yet consider what in justice He might have done to you.
 

*While we carry a sense of grace in our conscience to comfort us
  --let us carry a sense of sin in our memory to humble us.
 

*We can never thank God enough for His patience--which has kept us so long out of Hell;
  nor for His grace--which so earnestly invites us to Heaven.
 

*All who are elect--are vessels of grace;
  all who are regenerate--are patterns of grace;
  all who are saved--are monuments of grace;
  all the work of Heaven--is to sing the loud praises of grace.
 

*It melts the heart to think that God is as full of grace--as I am as full of sin!
  He is as free to forgive--as I am to offend.
  He has daily grace--for my daily sins.
 

*The heart of man is such a barren soil that no good can grow--there unless almighty grace plants it.
 Grace is an immortal seed, cast into an immortal soil, which brings forth immortal fruit!
