"And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud." By these words the Lord looks back to the flood that before had drowned the earth; for in these clouds there was no bow, no token of Christ, or of the mercy of God.
Surely goodness and mercy have followed us all the days of our life, and we are crowned with glory and honour. Where is the Master of the Harvest, that he may claim his own with joy?" But the Master of the Harvest was bending over the bed of his dying wife.
How many vain pleaders for mercy, do you think, have turned away heart-sick from the lawyer's office, to find a resting-place in the Thames, or a refuge in the jail? They are no ordinary houses, those.
The love of order is no less essential to a holy being than the love of mercy; and therefore it is compatible with the most perfect goodness, in its association with justice, to punish transgressors either on their own account or for the sake of others either for the purpose of individual correction or of general warning.
It being rough on the Lake at the time, the rolling of the waves caused the boat to work off, and before he could return she had drifted well out on the broad waters of the Lake. We were too small to realize our situation. Not knowing how to paddle, we were left to the mercy of the waves.
Wheeler, as she turned to Mercy. "I never can thank you enough. It'll save his life, getting him out of that garret." Mercy did not say, but she thought that it was too late. A mortal sickness had fastened upon the old man; and so it proved. When she went to his home the next day, he was in a high fever and delirious; and he lived only a few days.
Men need a God who becomes angry and who can be appeased; if His anger alarms a few timid souls, His clemency reassures the determined wicked ones who intend to have recourse sooner or later to the means of reconciling themselves with Him; if the judgments of God frighten a few faint-hearted devotees who already by temperament and by habitude are not inclined to evil, the treasures of Divine mercy reassure the greatest criminals, who have reason to hope that they will participate in them with the others.
From everlasting to everlasting; that is more, more than I said. Well, Then from everlasting; that is, from before the world began; so then, things that are, and are to be hereafter, are to be managed according to those measures that God in mercy took for his people then.
"Dost thou know what I have done?" "I saw thy suffering, and heard thy testimony to the truth." "O Lord!" "And if a servant of Christ forgave thee in the hour of torture and death, why should Christ not forgive thee?" Chilo seized his head with both hands, as if in bewilderment. "Forgiveness! for me, forgiveness!" "Our God is a God of mercy," said Paul.
I do not forget that many a woman who would otherwise have been worth little, has for her sorrow found such consolation that she has become rich before God; these words hold nevertheless: "It must needs be that offences come, but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!" On a morning two days later, Christina called Mercy, rather imperiously, to get ready at once for their usual walk.
