Worthy Pleasures

"The pleasures of loving and obeying, loving and adoring, blessing and praising the Infinite Being, the Best of Beings, the Eternal Jehovah;

the pleasures of trusting in Jesus Christ, in contemplating His beauties, excellencies, and glories; in contemplating His love to mankind and to us, in contemplating His infinite goodness and astonishing loving-kindness;

the pleasures of [the] communion of the Holy Ghost in conversing with God, the maker and governor of the world;

the pleasure that results from the doing of our duty, in acting worthily and excellently;…

these are the pleasures that are worthy of so noble a creature as a man is."

~ Jonathan Edwards via Truth Matters
