im not to sure what to write in here at this point...so i will just steal an idea i got from a freind through my youthminister and share some quotes that i have come across while writing a research paper on Jonathan Edwards:
Holiness, as I then wrote down some of my contemplations on it, appeared to
me to be of a sweet, pleasant, charming, serene, calm nature. It seemed to
me, it brought an inexpressible purity, brightness, peacefulness and
ravishment to the soul: and that it made the soul like a field or garden of
God, with all manner of pleasant flowers.... The soul of a true Christian,
as I then wrote my meditations, appeared like such a little white flower,
as we see in the spring of the year; low and humble on the ground, opening
its bosom, to receive the pleasant beams of the sun's glory; rejoicing as
it were, in a calm rapture; diffusing around a sweet fragnancy; standing
peacefully and lovingly, in the midst of other flowers round about; all in
like manner opening their bosoms, to drink in the light of the sun.
what if we were to see the Holiness of God this way?
