I used to go in anxious expectation to meet my God, and hold sweet communion with him; and I was seldom disappointed.

In the means of grace all the channels of divine mercy are open to every heart that is lifted up to receive out of that divine fulness grace for grace.

How have I rejoiced to hear a faithful and lively messenger, just come, as it were, from communion with God at the throne of grace, with his heart warmed and filled with divine love, to speak to fallen sinners! Such a one has seemed to me as if his face shone as that of Moses did with the glory of God, when he came down from the mount, where he had been within the veil.

May you, sir, imitate him, as he did Christ, that all may see and know that the Lord dwelleth with you, and that you dwell in him through the unity of the blessed Spirit.
