Secondly, Children, You shall come yet nearer than so. Young Persons are taken into Communion with God, by the Communications of His Holy Spirit unto them. The Communion that God has with them, is that; 2 Cor. XIII. 14. The communion of the Holy Spirit. In the impressions of the Holy Spirit on Young Persons, God has Communion with them. Children, Sometimes the Spirit of God, will make unto you, most grateful Discoveries. He ⟨p. 29⟩will Open your Eyes to behold the wondrous Things in His Law; He will Unfold unto you the Mysteries of His Gospel; He will cause you to Discern the Things that are spiritually to be discerned. More than so; The Spirit of God will go on to Sanctify you; and Purify you, and impart a Principle of Grace unto you, and Strengthen that Principle in you, and Revive the Image of God in your Souls, and make you more Conformable to the Image of His Jesus, and Enkindle the Life of God in you, and Quicken you in Living unto God. This is not all; The Spirit of God will Excite you to the Things that are Well-pleasing to Him; Will Incline you to the Things that Please Him; Will Inspire you with Purposes of Well-doing, With Contrivances to Do Good; Will Animate you to Services, and put you upon Abounding in the Fruits of Righteousness. In fine; The Spirit of God, will bring Home the Love of God into your Hearts; Will assure you of His Everlasting Love; Will comfort you with His Encouraging Promises; Will Seal you to the Day of Redemption; Will fill you with His Great Consolations; Will abolish your Griefs, extinguish your ⟨p. 30⟩Fears, enliven your Hopes, and cause you to Rejoice with Joy Unspeakable and full of Glory. Now in all these things, the Great GOD has Communion with you. O Soul Panting after Communion with GOD, mistake not the matter. Do not confine the Communion unto any one of these Fruitions. Child, Thy God has Communion with thee, when He Awakens thee, when He Abases thee, when He brings Contritions upon thee, as well as when He Ravishes thee with His Consolations which are not Small.
