THE SOLE SOURCE OF SATISFACTION
BY Jonathan Edwards
“Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” Psalm 16:11
Spiritual delight in God arises chiefly from His beauty and perfection–and not from the blessings which He gives us.
God is the highest good of the reasonable creature–and the enjoyment of Him is
the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied!To go to Heaven, fully to enjoy God––is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here in this poor world. This is better than fathers and mothers, husbands, wives, or children, or the company of any, or all earthly friends.
These are but shadows, the enjoyment of God is the substance!
These are but scattered beams, God is the sun!
These are but streams, God is the fountain!
The godly are destined for infinite and inconceivable happiness–for
those who have Christ, have all that they need, and need no more!“
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.”1 John 3:2
“For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:” Philippians 1:23
PRAYER PROMPTER: Bending our knees in prayer keeps us from breaking under the load of care.
