“God hath His everlasting arms under His people, so that they shall never totally
nor finally fall. The safety and security of the child lies not so much in the child’s
hanging about the mother’s neck, as in the mother’s holding it fast in her arms.

So our safety and security lies not so much in our weak holding upon Christ, but
in Christ’s holding of us fast in His everlasting arms. This is our glory and our
safety, that Christ’s left hand is always under us, and His right hand does always
embrace us.

If the soul be forsaken by friends, then that promise relieves it, Heb. 13:5, ‘I
will never leave thee nor forsake thee.’”
