My daughter Claudia sent me this yesterday midmorning… what a blessing to pause and consider the beauty of beholding God in the days He provides…

Quote of the Day

“I had a vehement longing of soul after God and Christ, and after more holiness, wherewith my heart seemed to be full, and ready to break… I spent most of my time thinking of divine things, year after year; often walking alone in the woods, and solitary places, for meditations, soliloquy, and prayer, and converse with God; and it was always my manner, at such times, to sing forth my contemplations. I was almost constantly in ejaculatory prayer, wherever I was. Prayer seemed to be natural to me, as the breath by which the inward burnings of my heart had vent.

~ Jonathan Edwards (“Personal Narrative” in Jonathan Edwards: Representative Selections)

This quote came from John Piper’s book Desiring God.
