Listen from:
There is this true and deep consolation for you and me and for all who are His, that, be as it may, He will be perfectly glorified in us in all according to the counsels of God. For me, I know it well, it will be His grace that will be glorified, and I shall be satisfied with it.... God knows by what road He is leading His own; one thing is certain, it is that Jesus will rejoice in the travail of His soul, and will be fully satisfied with it; and He will not be satisfied, His love will not, without seeing His own in the most perfect blessedness near Him. If His love is satisfied, we may well be. We shall enter into the rest of God, where His love, His fixed purpose, His character, will be fully glorified in all that surrounds Him, and " He shall rest in his love," as He works now according to that love. For the rest, I believe that we shall rejoice more in the fact, that Christ is fully glorified, than in our own glory. 526
