Gem #5 - Omnipotence

Omnipotence may build a thousand worlds, and fill them with treasures;

Omnipotence may crush mountains into dust, and cause all the seas to

evaporate, and destroy the stars, but Omnipotence cannot do one unloving

thing toward a believer. Oh! rest assured, Christian, a harsh act, an

unloving action from God toward one of His own people is quite impossible.

He is kind to you when he throws you into prison as when he takes you into

a palace; He is as good when He sends famine into your house as when He

fills your cupboards with plenty. The only question is, "Are you His

child?" If so, He has rebuked you in affection, and there is love in His

discipline.
