God the all-sufficient object for our spirits, His love, the communication of Himself, the sense of His presence, the depths of His infinite character, of His wondrous ways, of His revealed Truth as an object for thought: of His authoritative will as imperative for will and conscience: aspiration towards Him.
God the Eternal Object.

Not a life of outward success and ease--much nobler than if He did.
Take Abram's as a type.
In absence of other joys He will be Enough. Sphered and included in Him is all sweetness. Re sustains all relations, and does for us what these other joys and goods partially do.
The possession of His love should put away all fear, since having Him we are not at the mercy of externals.
