Continued from my "book" - Fall 1997 (Quotes by Spurgeon and personalized by me)
77a LET THY TENDER MERCIES COME UNTO ME, THAT I MAY LIVE:
"A heathen said...while I breathe I hope;" but by thy grace, O Lord, may I say "...even when I expire I still expect thy blessing." I cannot live "without thy tender mercy, O Lord, it is death...to be under Your displeasure." So Lord...I am like a tender branch. I could so easily be "snapped off", except by thy power. I am like a tender, delicate baby in the womb. My life is held in the balance. Pity me, O Lord. Let thy tender mercies come unto me that I may LIVE! Your tender LOVE and compassion and comfort to me...this is what keeps me physically and spiritually alive! Come, Holy Spirit, come! Let Your "wind" blow on me that I might REALLY, REALLY LIVE! I long to experience an even DEEPER life with YOU - DEEPER AND DEEPER and DEEPER! O Lord, give us all together a double portion of Your presence for Your glory!
77b FOR THE LAW IS MY DELIGHT.
Lord, to "rejoice in the law even when its broken precepts cause me to suffer...to delight in the word even when it rebukes me"...Ah, this is Your mercy to me! When I think about the fact that millions of people in this world do not delight in Your word, I must bow my head in thanksgiving...It is only Your MERCY which causes me to delight in Your Word! Thank-You, Lord! Amen!
