The Seeking Of The Kingdom Of God

Lord, Stamp Eternity On My Eyeballs.

Truth Is The Agreement Of Our Ideas With The Ideas Of God.

We Have Seen That The Son Of God Created The World For This Very End, To Communicate Himself In An Image Of His Own Excellency. ... When We Behold The Light And Brightness Of The Sun, The Golden Edges Of An Evening Cloud, Or The Beauteous (rain)bow, We Behold The Adumbrations Of His Glory And Goodness; And In The Blue Sky, Of His Mildness And Gentleness.

Such Is Man's Nature, That He Is Very Inactive And Lazy Unless He Is Influenced By Some Affection, Either Love Or Hatred, Desire, Hope, Fear, Or Some Other. These Affections We See To Be The Springs That Set Men Agoing, In All The Affairs Of Life, And Engage Them In All Their Pursuits: These Are The Things That Put Men Forward, And Carry Them Along.

Christ Is Like A River In Another Respect. A River Is Continually Flowing, There Are Fresh Supplies Of Water Coming From The Fountain-head Continually, So That A Man May Live By It, And Be Supplied With Water All His Life. So Christ Is An Ever-flowing Fountain; He Is Continually Supplying His People, And The Fountain Is Not Spent. They Who Live Upon Christ, May Have Fresh Supplies From Him To All Eternity; They May Have An Increase Of Blessedness That Is New, And New Still, And Which Never Will Come To An End.
