Blessed Jesus, Thou art no stingy provider, when Thou givest, Thou givest like a GOD!”

“How much is implied to that one phrase, lover of Jesus? It contains a claim to all the real blessings of this world, and to an eternity of blessings. Love to Jesus is the sure title to the greatest possible happiness; for Jesus is all knowing, and has determined to make His friends happy, and surely will not forget a single one in whose heart is enkindled one spark of love. Nor does He intend a partial happiness for His friends. It will be as great as their capac ity will admit. Nor does He intend a temporal happiness. It will never have an end. Nor does He intend a real happiness eternally stationary. It will be eternally increasing. The happiness of His friends will not only be complete, so as to fill their capacity, but as their capacities will be eternally enlarging , the quantity of happiness they enjoy will be eternally increasing; and not merely eternally increasing in the s ame ratio, but eternally accelerated ratio. So that there will unquestionably arrive a moment in the age of eternity when the additional happiness already enjoyed by each glorified spirit, will almost infinitely outweigh the whole sum of human happiness enjoyed in this world. To all this mayhe aspire who is a lover of Jesus. Blessed Jesus, Thou art no stingy provider, when Thou givest, Thou givest like a GOD!”
