Love Christ, and then the eternity in the heart will not be a great aching void, but will be filled with the everlasting life which Christ gives and is.

It was a deep true thought which the old painters had, when they drew John as likest to his Lord. Love makes us like.

Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)

Do not let the empty cup be your first teacher of the blessings you had when it was full. Do not let a hard place here and there in the bed destroy your rest. Seek, as a plain duty, to cultivate a buoyant, joyous sense of the crowded kindnesses of God in your daily life.
