Gospel Wakefulness
written at Tuesday, January 24, 2012
If you want to find an instance of true
gratitude for the infinite grace of God, do not go to those who think of God’s
love as something that cost nothing, but go rather to those who in agony of
soul have faced the awful fact of the guilt of sin, and then have come to know
with a trembling wonder that the miracle of all miracles has been accomplished,
and that the eternal Son has died in their stead - J. Gresham Machen

Knowing
What matters supremely, therefore, is not
in the last analysis, the fact that I know God,
but the larger fact which underlies it --
the fact that He knows me.
J. I. Packer
