Companions of the Way (Morning)Go thy way till the end be, for thou shalt rest and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
GOD is our Father, and His eternal purpose towards us is a purpose of infinite love, to draw us out of all our unworthiness into perfect filial trust, and so into perfect participation of His own righteousness and blessedness. We cannot have rightness with God unless we trust in Him, and we cannot have filial trust until we have the assurance of His paternal love, that is of an unextinguishable love which will not indeed withhold any needed punishment, but which no sin of ours can ever weary out or weaken, a love which seeks our righteousness, and will persevere until its object is attained.
