O how strange--that God should love a worm, a dung-hill worm!
(The following is an excerpt from the diary of James Smith)
If some of my congregation knew me better--they would love me less!
Yet my heavenly Father . . .
knows me well,
favors me much,
and loves me wonderfully!
O how strange--that God should love a worm, a dung-hill worm--one who . . .
was bred in sin,
loved sin,
felt at home in sin, and
at times felt regret that he was debarred from some sins!

O if God had left me to myself--what would I have been, and what would I have done!
But by the grace of God--I am what I am!" 1 Corinthians 15:10
Surely, surely, I must say, that divine love and wisdom have planned my path--from first to last.
I am . . .
out of Hell,
on the way to Heaven,
employed by God,
useful to saints, and
a blessing to sinners! O how wonderful, how wonderful is this!
