A Divine Cordial

18. If we love God,¹ we have all winds blowing for us, every thing in the world shall conspire for our good: We know not what fiery Trials we may meet with, but to them that Love God all things shall work for good: Those things which work against them, shall work for them; their Cross shall make way for a Crown; every Wind shall blow them to the heavenly Port.

1. 118.

¹19. Want of love to God is the Ground of Apostasy. The Seed in the Parable which had no root, fell away: He who hath not the love of God rooted in his heart will fall away in time of temptation. He who loves God, will cleave to him, as […] to Naomi, Ruth 1.16. Where thou goest I will go, and where thou dyest I will dye. But he who wants love to God will do as Orpah to her Mother-in-Law, she kissed her, and took her farewell of her. That Soldier who hath no love to his Commander, when he sees an opportunity he will leave him, and run over to the Enemies side. He who hath no love in his heart to God, you may prick him down for an Apostate.
