Maranatha

Friday October 2

My soul was this day, at turns, sweetly set on God: I longed to be 'with him' that I might 'behold his glory'; I felt sweetly disposed to commit all to him, even my dearest friends, my dearest flock, and my absent brother, and all my concerns for time and eternity. Oh, that his kingdom might come in the world; that they might all love and glorify him for what he is in himself; and that the blessed Redeemer might 'see of the travail of his soul, and be satisfied.' Oh, 'come, Lord Jesus, come quickly!'

David Brainerd.
