CHRIST enjoyed
(Letters of William Romaine, 1714-1795)
CHRIST enjoyed, being
the death of every selfish affection . . .
mortifies the carnal heart,
crucifies worldly tempers,
and subdues creature-love.
If we would daily walk with
a happy heart, we must learn
to draw all of our happiness
from the precious love which
GOD has for us in HIS dear SON.
We must look quite away
from our graces, our gifts,
our righteousness, our duties--
for GOD does not love us for these.
HE loves us only in HIS SON!
Believing this, is to find all
our salvation and to enjoy
all our happiness.
