"But the heart that is surrendered to God, loves the truth of God's word; for through the truth the soul is regenerated.
*The carnal mind finds no pleasure in contemplation of the word of God,
*but he who is renewed in the spirit of his mind, sees new charms in the living oracles; for divine beauty and celestial light seem to shine in every passage.
That which was to the carnal mind a desolate wilderness, to the spiritual mind becomes a land of living streams.
That which to the unrenewed heart appeared a barren waste, to the converted soul becomes the garden of God, covered with fragrant buds and blooming flowers."
