Counting those Constrained

Read:  Psalm 87 / Proverbs 01 / Jeremiah 31 / 2 Cor. 5 

 

Psalm 87:3,6 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God… The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.

Proverbs 1:29, 33 For that they hated knowledge, and did not CHOOSE the fear of the LORD… But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Jeremiah 31:3 The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

2 Corinthians 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because… if one died for all, then were all dead:

 

The Lord is counting those constrained

By cords of love which draw us ALL. 

The joyful people He has gained  

Are those who CHOOSE to heed His call. 

 

With everlasting love He drew  

The hearts of ALL humanity. 

All those who CHOOSE Him, love Him too

Because He died to make them free.
