February 15: Heavenly Happiness.
God Delights in Our Freedom.
He led me to a place of safety; he rescued me because he delights in me.--Psalm 18:19, NLT
CHRIST DELIGHTS to take apparently hopeless material, those whom Satan has debased and through whom he has worked, and make them the subjects of His grace. He rejoices to deliver them from suffering, and from the wrath that is to fall upon the disobedient.--Gospel Workers, 516.
The world is a workshop in which, through the cooperation of human and divine agencies, Jesus is making experiments by His grace and divine mercy upon human hearts. Angels are amazed as they behold the transformation of character brought about in those who yield themselves to God.--Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers, 49.
The leaven of truth works a change in the whole man, making the coarse refined, the rough gentle, the selfish generous. By it the impure are cleansed, washed in the blood of the Lamb. Through its life-giving power it brings all there is of mind and soul and strength into harmony with the divine life. Man with his human nature becomes partaker of divinity. Christ is honored in excellence and perfection of character. As these changes are effected, angels break forth in rapturous song, and God and Christ rejoice over souls fashioned after the divine similitude.--Christ's Object Lessons, 102.
And they sang a new song with these words:
"You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seal and open it.
For you were slaughtered, and your blood has ransomed people for God
from every tribe and language and people and nation."
--Revelation 5:9, NLT
