God is a Person, and in the deep of His mighty nature He thinks, wills, enjoys, feels, loves, desires and suffers as any other person may.

Jesus gave His life to love me, and despite what it costs me, I can think of no greater calling than to love someone else in the same way that Jesus loved me.

There are some rare Christians who seem born for thoughtfulness. … This is the highest and holiest ministry of love. It is not softness nor weakness; it is strength – but strength enriched by divine gentleness.
– JR Miller –
Rivers to the ocean run,
Nor stay in all their course;
Fire ascending seeks the sun,
Both speed them to their source:
So a soul that’s born of God,
Pants to view his glorious face;
Upward tends to his abode,
To rest in his embrace.

A Christian should always have one eye upon his end, and the other eye upon his way. That man lives a brutish life, who knows not what he lives for. And that man acts a fool’s part, who aims at heaven, and lives at random. The end for which a wise Christian lives is, that he may live without end; and therefore his way of living is, that he may live to spend his life continually in the ways of life. He is always walking in those paths in which he can see heaven before him. O my soul, what dost thou aim at? Is it a full enjoyment of thy God? Why then, whilst thou art present in the body, be always drawing near unto the Lord: so when thou shalt be absent from the body, thou shalt be always present with the Lord.

Is it too much to expect our God to do ‘exceedingly abundantly above?’ Can we put a strain on Omnipotence; can we exhaust infinite Love?

O my Lord Jesus Christ, if I could be in heaven without You, it would be a hell; and if I could be in hell, and have You still, it would be a heaven to me, for You are all the heaven I need.
– Samuel Rutherford –
The worldling does not care for Christ because he has never hungered and thirsted after Him. But the Christian is athirst for Christ. He is in a dry and thirsty land where no water is and his heart and his flesh pant after God, yes, for the living God! And as the thirsty soul dying, cries out, “Water! Water! Water!” so the Christian cries out, “Christ! Christ! Christ!” This is the one thing necessary for me and if I have it not, this thirst will destroy me!
