God Ill Requited for All His Love
Ezekiel 16:17-22
You have also taken your fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made to yourself images of men…


I remember William Huntingdon says in his autobiography that one of the sharpest sensations of pain that he felt after he had been quickened by Divine grace was this, "He felt such pity for God." I do not know that I ever met with the expression elsewhere, but it is a very expressive one; although I might prefer to say sympathy with God, and grief that He should be so ill-treated. Many a man has been slandered and abused, but never was man abused as God has been.

( C. H. Spurgeon.)
