Gratitude & Joy
I feel joys so continual, and so great, that I can scarce contain them.
There is not in the world a kind of life more sweet and delightful, than that of a continual conversation with God.
And I make it my business only to persevere in His holy presence, wherein I keep myself by a simple attention, and a general fond regard to GOD, which I may call an actual presence of GOD; or, to speak better, an habitual, silent, and secret conversation of the soul with GOD, which often causes in me joys and raptures inwardly.
