Dear Pilgrim, When I consider distinguishing grace, I think of this verse: I Corinthians 4:7"For who maketh thee to differ? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory? as if thou hadst not received it?" God alone makes us to differ. Think of how two babies were in Rebekah's womb, Jacob and Esau, yet God said, "Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated." God gave his distinguishing grace to Jacob yet bypassed his brother. For no reason but that it pleased God! God puts a division between people. He often brings the sword in families. He has in mine. I will sing of mercy and of judgment! God is both and I thank and adore Him for showing distinguishing grace to me! At His name, every knee shall bow! For his name, Straitgate
