“I shall shortly get a very different sight of God from what I have ever had, and shall be made meet to praise Him for ever and ever. O, the thoughts of an incarnate Deity are sweet and ravishing! O, how I wonder at myself that I do not love Him more, and that I do not admire Him more! What a wonder that I
enjoy such composure under all my bodily pains, and in the view of death itself! What a mercy that, having the use of my reason, I can declare His goodness to my soul; I long for His salvation; I bless His name. I have found Him, and die rejoicing in Him. O, blessed be God that I was born! O, that I was where He is! I have a father and mother and ten brothers and sisters in heaven, and I shall be the eleventh. O, there is a telling in this Providence, and I shall be telling it for ever! If there be such a glory in His conduct towards me now, what will it be to see the Lamb in the midst of the throne! Blessed be God that ever I was born!”
