Draw me near to you with your love and teach me, my most dearly beloved Lamb, to return your embrace with love, and not to let you go, my sweet bridegroom. Do not begrudge me the sweet kisses and delights, nor refuse my kiss of love. I cannot live without you, give me honey-flow of your mouth.

Jonathan Edward: Religious AffectionsJonathan Edward: Religious Affections

The basis for the true delight that a real Christian has is in God and in His perfection. His delight is in Christ, and in His beauty.

When false believers congratulate only themselves, they keep their eyes only upon themselves. Having received what they call spiritual discoveries or experiences, their minds are taken up with self and the admiration of their experiences.

25


What they are chiefly excited about is not the glory of God or the beauty of Christ but the thrill of their own experiences. They keep thinking “what a wonderful experience this is! What a great discovery this is! What wonderful things I have encountered!”

And so they put their experiences in the place of Christ and His

beauty and all-sufficiency. Instead of rejoicing in Christ Jesus, they indulge in their own wonderful experiences.
