The affection possessing the heart of God

How overwhelming is the thought of this affection possessing the heart of God — of the deep interest of his infinite mind in the progress of the kingdom of his dear Son — his thoughts engaged in it — his unsearchable plans embracing it, and controlling all the mighty movements of the world to subserve this main design!
