Ella Williams’s Reviews > Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers > Status Update

“In short, when the fallenness of the world closes in on us and makes us want to throw in the towel— there, right there, we have a Friend who knows exactly what such testing feels like, and sits close to us, embraces us. With us. Solidarity.”

TYJ!!! 😭🩷

From Able to Sympathize:

Hebrews 4:15 “We do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses.”

From the Happiness of Christ: “When you come to Christ for mercy and love and help in your anguish and perplexity and sinfulness, you are going with the flow of his own deepest wishes, not against them.”

From the chapter : His Heart in Action “The Jesus given to us in the Gospels is not simply one who loves, but one who is love; merciful affections stream from His innermost heart as rays from the sun” (pg. 29).

already can tell this is going to be life changing !
