God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Is it asked, “What will most effectually turn my eyes from vanity?” Not the seclusion of contemplative retirement. Not the relinquishment of our lawful connection with the world ['in the world, but not of the world'!]. [It is rather] the transcendent beauty of Jesus unveiled to our eyes, and fixing our hearts.
