The Wise Choice.

Back to Divine Breathings!

If God is perfect in himself, and capable of imparting the highest good to the creature—then it is the greatest wisdom of the creature to choose him, and his imperative duty to live in observance of his commandments.

If all men must appear before this great Majesty, and bow before him—then I admire the wisdom of the godly, and am surprised at the folly of the wicked.

And seeing that this must certainly be the case, Lord let me be of the number of those that choose you here—so that I may enjoy you forever; and not of the number of those who refuse you here—and must forever be separated from you.
