For once my heart was poor,
And I have found a treasury
Of love, a boundless store.

I knew not of His love;
And He had loved so long,
With love so faithful and so deep,
So tender and so strong.
And He had loved so long,
With love so faithful and so deep,
So tender and so strong.

And now I know it all,
Have heard and known His voice,
And hear it still from day to day.
Can I enough rejoice?
Have heard and known His voice,
And hear it still from day to day.
Can I enough rejoice?

In the Bible God likens His salvation to a dinner (14:16). Have you ever heard someone invite a guest, saying, "I would like to invite you to dinner because I am concerned that you have nothing to eat"? If someone invited me in this way, I probably would rather be hungry than eat dinner with him. We do not invite someone to dinner because he is in need of our dinner but because our dinner needs him. We invite people to dinner because we want them to come and enjoy our dinner, not because they are hungry.
Hallelujah we have a God that seeks man!! Thank You God You loved man so much You became a man in order to be our supply and content! What a wonderful story!!

Elizabeth Rundle Charles was a poet, author, linguist, musician, and painter, who became one of the best known women in England during the 19th century. She was born in Tavistock, Devonshire, January 2, 1828, to Joana and John Rundle, who was a banker, businessman, and member of Parliament. He was her true friend and guide, and her mother was her devoted, lifelong companion. Although not blessed with siblings, her childhood was filled with the delights of a loving extended family.
Elizabeth was educated at home in the classic disciplines, and was writing poetry by age 18. Near age 18, she was led to the Lord, and from the overflowing joy of her conversion, wrote the hymn and titled “Come and Rejoice with Me“
Elizabet was especially well-known for her many books, publishing her first – a translation from the German pietist Joachim Neander – at the age of 22. In 1863, her Chronicles of the Schoenberg-Cotta family – a historical novel about the childhood of Martin Luther – became the best known of her 50 books.
At age 23, she married Andrew Patton Charles, a lawyer and businessman. They were known for their philanthropic work among the poor of Wapping and Hempstead, including founding a home for incurables in 1885.
Andrew died 17 years after their marriage, but by abundance of grace from God – who both inspired her to write pervasively popular books of Christian history and literature, and blessed her with a flow of royalties – she was able to care for her loving mother and others for many years. Elizabeth died when she was 68 at Hempstead Heath, near London, March 28, 1896.

After hearing the Lord’s speaking from the book of Jeremiah, it is truly a testimony and a reality that the tender hearted God can come in to the parts of our heart and as Christ makes Him home in all the wounded places in our heart we become one with him. This is how He does the healing work all the glory belongs to Him! hallelujah!
