Ruth writes: “In my quiet time, the Lord inspires me with thoughts of revelation and encouragement. I cherish these words, so record them in my journal. Some have been read to friends, who urged me to share more. The Lord impressed me that these thoughts were His and not just for me alone. For this reason, I have agreed to share some of my precious moments of inspiration in the Lord’s Presence. I pray they will be an encouragement to you, and you also will be inspired to listen for His thoughts in your quiet time.” ~Ruth Doggette

When Strangers Meet

“WHEN STRANGERS MEET” “Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.” (Psalm 85:10) How can a holy God be in a relationship with a sinful people? God’s holiness demands that “the should that sinneth, it shall die” while the love of God cries out, “I have loved thee with an everlasting love.” These contrasting cries from the heart of God find their reconciliation in the same place we find ours, that place where “mercy and truth are met together,” in the cross of Christ. In one of his most inspiring messages, Dr. Hanby depicts the epic drama of redemption cast upon the stage of sanctified imagination and biblical truth. Your heart will be captured anew as you hear again the grand and glorious story of God’s loving pursuit of His bride, the Church.
