Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn?

Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
(Romans 8:33-35)

Have we during the past week fallen into a signal state of gross unbelief? Have we been thinking hard thoughts of God? Has some sin suspended our communion with our Savior?

Are we now cold at heart and void of spiritual emotion? Do we feel quite unworthy to draw near unto Him who loved us with so great a love?

Be not desponding. The God of all patience will not desert you. The love that our Lord Jesus Christ bears to His people is so great that He passes by their transgression, iniquity and sin.

No, there is no anger on His part to divide you from your Lord. Since He thus graciously comes to you, will you not gladly come to him?

Do not think for a moment that He will frown or repulse you. He will not remind you of your cold prayers, your neglected closet, or your unread Bible.

Know also that He will not chide you for losing occasions of fellowship, but He will receive you graciously and love you freely and grant you just what at this moment you need.

Charles Spurgeon
