We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Men that have their spirits heated and enraged and rising in bitter resentment when they are injured act as if they thought some strange thing had happened to them. Whereas they are very foolish in so thinking for it is no strange thing at all but only what was to be expected in a world like this. They therefore do not act wisely that allow their spirits to be ruffled by the injuries they suffer.
Jonathan Edwards

To gain entire likeness to Christ, I ought to get a high esteem of the happiness of it. I am persuaded that God’s happiness is inseparably linked in with His holiness. Holiness and happiness are like light and heat. God never tasted one of the pleasures of sin. Christ has a body such as I have, yet He never tasted one of the pleasures of sin. The redeemed, through all eternity, will never taste one of the pleasures of sin; yet their happiness is complete... Every sin is something away from my greatest enjoyment... The devil strives night and day to make me forget this or disbelieve it. He says, Why should you not enjoy this pleasure as much as Solomon or David? You may go to heaven also. I am persuaded this is a lie — that my true happiness is to go and sin no more.
Robert Murray McCheyne

    1 שפטני אלהים וריבה ריבי מגוי לא חסיד מאיש מרמה ועולה תפלטני׃
    2 כי אתה אלהי מעוזי למה זנחתני למה קדר אתהלך בלחץ אויב׃
    3 שלח אורך ואמתך המה ינחוני יביאוני אל הר קדשך ואל משכנותיך׃
    4 ואבואה אל מזבח אלהים אל אל שמחת גילי ואודך בכנור אלהים אלהי׃
    5 מה תשתוחחי נפשי ומה תהמי עלי הוחילי לאלהים כי עוד אודנו ישועת פני ואלהי׃
