How the blessed Lord desires our fellowship! The divine, eternal Son of God, Creator and Sustainer of all, delight of the Father’s heart He who fills all heaven with His infinite glory this Jesus longs for your company! Oh! that we might daily respond to and supply the sweet desire of His blessed heart.

He requests us to “watch with Me” (Matt. 26:38³⁸Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. (Matthew 26:38)), desires that we would remember Him in death—“With desire I have desired to eat... with you” (Luke 22:15¹⁵And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: (Luke 22:15)) and has asked the Father that each of His own “be with Me where I am” (John 17:24²⁴Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. (John 17:24)). Is there anything sweeter than being with Him? Do we long for His company each day?
