God judges His people – Thomas Brooks
God judges His people by their sincerity and the general bent and frame of their hearts and not by what they are under some pangs of passion, or in an hour of temptation. His eye is more upon His people’s inward disposition, than it is upon their outward actions more upon their will than it is upon their work. The Lord will not forsake His people, nor cast off His people because of those failings and weaknesses that may, and do, attend them. God pities His people under their weakness; He will not reject them for their weakness.
