He that loves his friend will often give him a visit: He that loves God will visit him. The heart ascends to God in a fiery Chariot of love.
A gracious soul cannot but draw 1near to God, because of the intimate relation between God and him. God is a Father, Isa. 64. 8. Doubtless thou art our Father. Doth not the child delight to draw near to his Father? No Father like to God for love*: his children shall never want: he hath Land enough to give to all his heirs. He loves his children so entirely, that he will never dis-inherit them*. How then can Believers keep away from their Father? they know not how to be long out of his presence.
