• “My soul remained in a kind of heavenly elysium. So far as I am capable of making a comparison, I think that what I felt each minute, during the continuance of the whole time, was worth more than all the outward comfort and pleasure, which I had enjoyed in my whole life put together. It was a pure delight, which fed and satisfied the soul. It was peasure, without the least sting, or any interruption. It was a sweetness, which my soul was lost in. It seemed to be all that my feeble frame could sustain, of that fulness of joy, which is felt by those, who behold the face of Christ, and share his love in the heavenly world.” – Sarah Edwards, wife of Jonathan Edwards

My Home is God Himself by Frances Brook

  • My home is God Himself; Christ brought me there,
    And bade me dwell in Him, rejoicing there;
    He bore me where no foot but His hath trod,
    Within the holiest at home with God.
    O holy place! O home divinely fair!
    And we, God’s little ones, abiding there.
  • A long, long road I traveled night and day,
    And sought to find within myself some way,
    Aught I could do, or feel to bring me near;
    Self effort failed, and I was filled with fear,
    And then I found Christ was the only way
    That I must come to Him and in Him stay.
  • O wondrous place! O home divinely fair!
    And I, God’s little one, safe hidden there.
    Lord, as I dwell in Thee and Thou in me,
    So make me dead to everything but Thee;
    That as I rest within my home most fair,
    I’ll share my God in all and everywhere.
