Psalms 25:10. All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
Do you believe that, you who have been sorely tried? If you are resting in covenant love, and find your hope in covenant blood and covenant promises, you must believe that everything God does to you is done in mercy and truth. Ay, though he strikes till every blow of the rod leaves a blue wound behind, yet we rejoice in these tokens of his fatherly love and desire for our highest good, for he has said, "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten." The word "love" in that passage conveys the idea of a very tender and ardent auction.
