The conviction grows deeper and deeper in my soul that the Lord is coming quickly, and that the Father and God is separating a people down here to meet Him at His coming. Happy they who, alive and seeing Him, are able to say,
“This is our God; we have waited for Him.”
And if I love any down here, no wish can be so good for them as that they may be ready in heart and in their circumstances to welcome Him, and have nothing about them practically inconsistent with the hope, unworldly, so that they can amalgamate with the scene then opened to them.
