27. GOD CLAIMS THE WHOLE HEART.
27. GOD CLAIMS THE WHOLE HEART.
O to have communion with God in all things, and at all times; and for this end I should keep for him my heart. If I am visited by a great friend, I must not ignore him by playing with trifles; lest he grow angry, and be gone.
Just so, God expects my heart, claims my meditations, and is affronted when he is not in all my thoughts.
O then, to get my idols destroyed, my meditations swept of vanities, and my heart wholly kept for God.
