"Nothing gives the believer so
much joy as fellowship with Christ. He has enjoyment as others have
in the common mercies of life, he can be glad both in God's gifts and
God's works; but in all these separately, yea, and in all of them added
together, he doth not find such substantial delight as in the matchless
person of his Lord Jesus. He has wine which no vineyard on earth ever
yielded; he has bread which all the corn-fields of Egypt could never
bring forth. Where can such sweetness be found as we have tasted in
communion with our Beloved?"
