Excerpt from The Epistles of St. Peter Verse 3 According to His great mercy. I am glad and grateful that the pregnant passage is prefaced by this word. The regenerated soul is just enveloped in great mercy. Now mercy implies sympathy. We cannot have mercy without sympathy. Without mercy we cannot have leniency; but leniency is only thin, pinched fruit compared with the fat, qcy fruit Of mercy. Without sympathy we may have giving, but unsympathetic giving is like the cold, outer threshold, while mercy is like a glowing hearthstone. Mercy implies sympathy. GO a step further. Sympathy suggests the choicest companionship, the rarest Of all fellow ships. Where there is true sympathy, there is the most exquisite companionship. If then, our God and Father enswathes us in great mercy, He visits in the sweetest fellowships. Therefore in the redeemed life there can be no loneliness, for in the Father's presence all possible loneliness is destroyed. The mercy which implies companionship accompanies me as a dynamic from my faintest breathing as a babe-christian on to the consummation when I shall have become a full-grown man in Christ.
