He began to be troubled and deeply distressed. Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch!”

Mark 14:33-34

Who can know the depth and intensity of the heart of God? No one could measure His sorrow over an unrepentant sinner or His joy over a spiritual rebel who relinquishes everything to Him.

2 Corinthians 9:8

When you relate to God you always deal with abundance, for God does nothing in half measures! This is true regarding His grace.
