Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Christian's Aspirations
But this aspiration, although the highest aspiration of the soul, is found in the lowest of men. Wherever a man is found, there is a being within whom there is a simply unappeasable thirst for God. This thirst is in eradicable, being an original attribute of the soul made in the image of God.
In the unconverted, this longing for God, although present, is covered up. The affections of the unsaved cling round the things of earth. But in the regenerate, the longing for God simply ?ames forth. When God quickens a soul, and reveals Himself to it in any meas ure, He awakens in it an unquenchable longing for fur ther revelation. The soul which has once seen God, yearns for fuller vision, for vision means knowledge, and knowledge means bliss.
