Status Updates From Communion with God

Finished Part II, Chapter IV. About the mutual delight between Christ and His saints. Was greatly edified by his treatment of Song 3:1-3 with regard to the believer’s delight in Christ being evidenced by their fervent seeking for His presence and love when they aren’t experiencing it anymore.

“So much as we see of the love of God, so much shall we delight in him, and no more. Every other discovery of God, without this, will but make the soul fly from him; but if the heart be once much taken up with this the eminency of the Father's love, it cannot choose but be overpowered, conquered, and endeared unto him.”

A little maturity has made this book immensely better.

“Few do cleave to the holy Scriptures; many do rest in scholastic, senseless sounds; and most men do hang their faith upon their rabbi's sleeves.”
