The sweet, twin hounds of heaven!

"Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever!" Psalm 23:6

Happy New Year!

Children of God, how thankful we ought to be!

How happy! How God has blessed us! He has . . .

  loved us with an everlasting love,

  chosen us as the objects of His grace,

  redeemed us by the precious blood of His dear Son,

  called us to life and faith in Christ,

  forgiven all our sins,

  justified us,

  sanctified us and

  preserves us!

But that is not all.

The Lord our God daily loads us with all the bounty of His grace in Christ in daily providence. The sweet, twin hounds of heaven (Goodness and Mercy) have been at our heels all the days of our lives--and shall continue to pursue us right into Heaven's glory!
