23. A REPROOF FOR DECAY IN GRACE.
With tears of blood might I write bitter lamentations over the deadness of my soul—the darkness of my heart! Is the beloved of my soul in heaven, and shall the love of my soul grovel on the earth?
Has he who is fairer than the angels of God—lost all his beauty with me? Has he no form nor loveliness that I should desire him, meditate on him, and long for him? O the mad career of my foolish mind—to hunt after shadows, vanity, wind—and let heaven and glory go!
O happy day of glory that is on the wing—when sin shall poison my pursuits no more; but all my soul, with the ardor of heavenly love, and the vigor of perfected grace, shall search the adorable perfections of God!
