What a wonderful thing is the forgiveness of sins. It is the forgiven sin we hate.
Communion with the Lord differs from all other communion. He has told us all that is in His heart, and He knows all that is in ours.
No perplexity so great but present practical communion with the Father and the Son lifts you above it; so that you give the slip to yourself, as it were, in the knowledge of this source of blessing. “Truly our fellowship.” The result of this is always practical. No question of the joy being full if the soul is brought to God.
G. J.
