The will of God is sweet tonight, altogether ‘good and acceptable and perfect.’ The considerate love of the Lord Jesus for us seems such a kind thing now. I know it has always been so, but somehow I didn’t see how wise it was when it didn’t seem kind… Remind me of this when I cannot regard His love as considerate some time. Jim Elliot
About This Quote

The will of God is sweet tonight, altogether good and acceptable and perfect is a quotation from the Book of Isaiah. The book of Isaiah contains forty-four chapters. The first thirty-nine verses are known as the “good news” or the “song of praise.” The word considerate is used in this quote to describe the way in which God treats people. However, considerate doesn’t mean kind or tender.

This term means thoughtful, thoughtful, and wise; it is an adjective that describes Gods actions towards us. This passage speaks about how God is “considerate” of us when we are weak and helpless yet He still loves us.
