The Wilder Place

I came across this today while studying... all I can say is "Well said!"... and I wanted to share it...

A mind at perfect peace with God — O, what a word is this!
A sinner reconciled to God — This, this indeed, is peace!

By nature and by practice far — how very far — from God!
Yet now by grace brought nigh to Him.

Through faith in Jesus’ blood.
So nigh, so very nigh to God — I cannot nearer be;
For, in the person of His Son,
I am as near as He.

So dear, so very dear to God — More dear I cannot be;
The love wherewith He loves the Son — such is His love to me.

—Catesby Pacet*

But that's just a man (human) like you and I...

Hebrews 10:14 says,

For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.
