I ran across these two quotes this evening as I was preparing for tomorrow. How I desire to long for Christ as these two men have so aptly penned.
David Brainerd
Thirsting desires and insatiable longings possessed my soul after perfect holiness. God was so precious to my soul that the world with all its enjoyments was infinitely vile. I had no more value for all the favor of men than pebbles. The Lord was my ALL; and that He overruled all greatly delighted me.
The Diaries of David Brainerd
Richard Baxter the great Puritan who died in 1691 prayed
May the Living God, who is the portion and rest of the saints, make these our carnal minds so spiritual, and our earthly hearts so heavenly, that loving him, and delighting in him, may be the work of our lives
The Saints Everlasting Rest
