February 19: Heavenly Happiness.
God Delights in Those Who Fear Him.
The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love.--Psalm 147:11, ESV
ALL HEAVEN REJOICES when weak, faulty human beings give themselves to Jesus, to live His life.--Messages to Young People, 108.
Christ has pledged Himself to be our substitute and surety, and He neglects no one. He who could not see human beings exposed to eternal ruin without pouring out His soul unto death in their behalf, will look with pity and compassion upon every soul who realizes that he cannot save himself.
He will look upon no trembling supplicant without raising him up. He who through His own atonement provided for man an infinite fund of moral power, will not fail to employ this power in our behalf. We may take our sins and sorrows to His feet; for He loves us. His every look and word invites our confidence.--Christ's Object Lessons, 157.
However wretched may be the specimens of humanity that men spurn and turn aside from, they are not too low, too wretched, for the notice and love of God. Christ longs to have care-worn, weary, oppressed human beings come to Him. He longs to give them the light and joy and peace that are to be found nowhere else.--Christ's Object Lessons, 225.
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
--Matthew 11:28, ESV
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you,
Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid."
--John 14:27, ESV
