‘THE choicest communications ever made of Jhuman minds are those which have com.e from the Great Father. Say, poor soul, what get you in Christ whenever you go to him? Can you not say, Oh! I get more love to him than I had before; I never approached near to him but I gained a large draught and ample fill of love of God. Out of his fullness we receive grace for grace, and love for love. In a word, by faith we behold the glory of the Lord as in a glass, and are changed into the same image — and the image of God is love. Live upon Christ, who is the daily manna, and you will live well.
