======================================================================== THE VOICE OF MERCY by Thomas Brooks ======================================================================== Summary: God's mercies have the power to melt, draw, and humble the heart, leading to a deeper connection with Him. Topics: "God's Mercy", "Humility" Scripture References: Psalm 51:17, Ephesians 2:8, James 4:6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thomas Brooks emphasizes that God's mercies bring joy to a humble soul, highlighting the paradox that true humility is found in recognizing one's lowliness even amidst great blessings. He explains that mercy has the power to melt hearts, draw people closer to God, and instill a deep sense of humility. The voice of mercy calls us to remember our past and present state, urging us to remain humble in light of God's grace. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ God's mercies make a humble soul glad--but not proud. A humble soul is lowest when his mercies are highest; he is least when he is greatest; he is lowest when he is highest; he is most poor when he is most rich. Nothing melts like mercy, nothing draws like mercy, nothing humbles like mercy. The voice of mercy is, "Remember what you once were, and what now you are--and be humble." ======================================================================== Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/thomas-brooks/the-voice-of-mercy/ ========================================================================
