- He loves God with all his mind (intellect -
διανοια) who applies himself only to
know God, and his holy will: - who receives with submission, gratitude,
and pleasure, the sacred truths which God has revealed to man: - who
studies no art nor science but as far as it is necessary for the service
of God, and uses it at all times to promote his glory - who forms no
projects nor designs but in reference to God and the interests of
mankind: - who banishes from his understanding and memory every useless,
foolish, and dangerous thought, together with every idea which has any
tendency to defile his soul, or turn it for a moment from the center of
eternal repose. In a word, he who sees God in all things - thinks of him
at all times - having his mind continually fixed upon God, acknowledging
him in all his ways - who begins, continues, and ends all his thoughts,
words, and works, to the glory of his name: - this is the person who
loves God with all his heart, life, strength, and intellect. He is
crucified to the world, and the world to him: he lives, yet not he, but
Christ lives in him. He beholds as in a glass the glory of the Lord, and
is changed into the same image from glory to glory. Simply and
constantly looking unto Jesus, the author and perfecter of his faith, he
receives continual supplies of enlightening and sanctifying grace, and
is thus fitted for every good word and work. O glorious state! far, far,
beyond this description! which comprises an ineffable [indescribable]
communion between the ever-blessed Trinity and the soul of man!
