Surely if he would not spare his own Son one stroke, one tear, one groan, one sigh, one circumstance of misery, it can never be imagined that ever he should, after this, deny or withhold from his people, for whose sakes all this was suffered, any mercies, any comforts, any privilege, spiritual or temporal, which is good for them.

Thanks a lot for sharing this quote. It’s good. I find it especially encouraging at the moment after an event of this morning. God is good all the time, no matter what. And, all circumstances given to His people are given in kindness. Oh for grace to trust Him more!

I am very glad that you found truth to console you in your time of suffering. After looking at the cross we know that all He has for His children is good.
