Drawn by Something Far Better
True weanedness from the world don’t consist in being beat off from the world by the affliction of it, but a being drawn off by the sight of something better.
One of Jonathan Edward’s Resolutions
53. Resolved, to improve every opportunity, when I am in the best and happiest frame of mind, to cast and venture my soul on the Lord Jesus Christ, to trust and confide in him, and consecrate myself wholly to him; that from this I may have assurance of my safety, knowing that I confide in my Redeemer. July 8, 1723.
The Happiness of the Knowledge of God
For God to be fully known, and for us to be truly happy, sin and God’s wrath against it had to exist.

Free to Choose
We are free to choose, but we are always a slave to our greatest desire.

Wanting God for His Blessings and Not Himself
If men’s affection to God is founded first on His profitableness to them, their affection begins at the wrong end; they regard God only for the utmost limit of the stream of divine good, where it touches them and reaches their interest, and have no respect to that infinite glory of God’s nature which is the original good, and the true foundation of all good, the first foundation of all true love.
Just One Glimpse of His Dear Face
The least glimpse of the glory of God in the face of Christ exalts and ennobles the soul more than all knowledge without grace.

Sweet and Humble Exultation
There are no words to express that kind of sweetness or humble exultation that arises from the sensible presence of God to the soul that is filled with divine love.
The Heavens Display God’s Glory
The creation of the universe is nothing but God’s manifestation of His own perfection and excellency.

Life Is Worship
How can you expect to dwell with God forever, if you so neglect and forsake Him here?
