May the Lord graciously raise up laborers in His harvest! My heart is only there when not with Christ in heaven-there where, through grace, it will ever be. I find all that is not seen evermore, and alone, real-my affections sometimes dull, but the purpose of my heart ever there: I cannot conceive having the heart any-where else. 60
One cannot do an instant without Him, and oh how blessed it is to trust Him! I feel all our work ought to be directly the immediate expression of God's mind, and it is a very solemn thing to work (and wait) directly from Him. What a thing to say in this world! 61
