God Saves Because He Loves, Not Because We’re Good. Thank You God For Loving Me Through Afflictions

Isaiah 48:9 - 11

9For my own name’s sake I delay my wrath;

for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you,

so as not to destroy you completely.

10See, I have refined you, though not as silver;

I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

11For my own sake, for my own sake, I do this.

How can I let myself be defamed?

I will not yield my glory to another.
