• “My soul was filled and overwhelmed with light, and love, and joy in the Holy Ghost, and seemed just ready to go away from the body. I could scarcely refrain from expressing my joy aloud, in the midst of the service. I had in the mean time, an overwhelming sense of the glory of God, as the Great Eternal All, and of the happiness of having my own will entirely subdued to his will. I knew that the foretaste of glory, which I then had in my soul, came from him, that I certainly should go to him, and should, as it were, drop into the Divine Being, and be swallowed up in God.” – Sarah Edwards, wife of Jonathan Edwards

_He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty_.–PS. xci. I.

They who on the Lord rely, Safely dwell though danger’s nigh; Lo! His sheltering wings are spread O’er each faithful servant’s head. When they wake, or when they sleep, Angel guards their vigils keep; Death and danger may be near, Faith and love have nought to fear.
HARRIET AUBER.
“There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling,” is a promise to the fullest extent verified in the case of all “who dwell in the secret place of the Most High.” To them sorrows are not “evils,” sicknesses are not “plagues;” the shadow of the Almighty extending far around those who abide under it, alters the character of all things which come within its influence.
ANON.
It is faith’s work to claim and challenge loving-kindness out of all the roughest strokes of God.
S. RUTHERFORD.

Verse of the Day

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. — Ephesians 3:17-19 (NKJV)
