The Divine Heart

“He was moved with compassion.”
— Matt. 9:36

“There is heart enough in Jesus to open the heart of the vilest sinner. The sinner finds he has a title in God's heart when he can find none in his own. The woman that was a sinner loved much because much was forgiven her. It was a broken heart that met the heart of God, and the heart of God met a broken heart. It is wonderful when the heart of man really meets the heart of God.”

“The hand of God never deals but in concert with His heart of infinite love towards us. … And even if He sees good to allow a sorrow to arise — yea, to send it — it is from a hand which never mistakes, nor fails in answering to a heart whose love is perfect.”
