Think how great, how free, how sovereign, how inexhaustible, how everlasting! All that a poor sinner hath in time, all that we can enjoy to all eternity, all is of grace. And what a title hath thy God chosen to be known by among his people, when to make himself known more fully in Jesus, he styles himself \u201cthe God of all grace!\u201d All grace? Yes, all grace, and all sorts and degrees of grace: pardoning grace, renewing grace, quickening grace, strengthening grace, comforting grace; in short, all grace. And is all this treasured up in Jesus? Oh then, my soul, see that Jesus be thine, and all is thine. And mark this down as a sure unerring rule-\u2014as grace hath no source but in the Father’s love, so the exalting that grace, in Jesus, is the Father\u2019s design in salvation. The brightest pearl in the Redeemer\u2019s crown is that which shines with this inscription: \u201cTo the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.\u201d Here, my soul, seek thy daily grace more earnestly than thy daily bread.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A reading of Anglican priest Robert Hawker’s (1753\u20131827) morning devotional writings from “The Poor Man’s Morning and Evening Portion” for January 30th.
