"God is the highest good of the reasonable creature. Better than fathers and mothers, husbands, wives, or children, or the company of any, or all earthly friends. --These are but shadows;
but the enjoyment of God is the substance.
--These are but scattered beams;
but God is the sun.
--These are but streams;
but God is the fountain.
--These are but drops,
but God is the ocean."
by Jonathon Edwards (1703-1758)
The LORD is good... Nahum 1:7
