"TRULY our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ." Fellowship with the Father is to be filled with His thoughts, His desires, His objects and His affections. So also with fellowship with the Son.... It is our privilege to be taken out of ourselves altogether, to be lost in the affections and aims of the Father and the Son!... Self disappears before such a blessed possibility. Shall I cling to my own thoughts and purposes when I may be occupied with those of the Father and the Son? Shall I have my own affections when I may be possessed with those that fill the heart of the Father and His Son Jesus Christ? Far be the thought! Rather let me be lost in this illimitable sea of bliss opened out before me in the marvelous grace of God.
