alongside to give us assistance. The Righteous One Himself is our Attorney. He pleads our cause against the one who accuses us relentlessly. He is not asking for leniency for sinning Christians nor even for the setting aside the law of God. As the Righteous One, who fulfilled the demands of the law by His life and substitutionary death on our behalf, He represents us before the Father. We owe every thing to our blessed Saviour! We ought to be rejoicing in Christ as He faces the Father day by day in all the efficacy of His unfinished work. We should be avowing, “Hallelujah, what a Saviour!"
MY LOVE FOR GOD My love for God, sometimes is like The sunlight's golden wane; A wistful, yearing, tender thing I cannot quite explain; A reaching out, a lifting up, A drawing to one's heart; Sometimes it's joy, sometimes it's tears, They are of each, a part. My love for God is like the dawn; Its promise in the sky, The glory of its loveliness Proclaims He reigns on High. At times, my love for God becomes A great white-rushing tide— That sweeps a soul as small as I Close to His precious side! But there are days, it's gentle, sweet, More like a fragrant breeze That softly stirs at eventide, A whisp'ring in the trees. My love for God involves the peace He gives me in the night, He's my Essentiality; Through Christ, my soul's Delight!
