‘O why is earth so different from Heaven? Why have we disputing, instead of adoring; questioning, instead of thanksgiving; coldness, instead of the fire of love? It is because men live so much in the things of time and sense, and think so little of Him, who never forgetteth us. Oh, sursum corda, sursum corda! One earnest, steadfast, piercing, longing, loving gaze into Heaven will reveal to thee more than all this world’s disputing, nay, than any argument, for “flesh and blood will not reveal” it unto thee, but “thy Father which is in heaven.” Blessedness will it be beyond all bliss, blessedness above all created joy, for it is the fruit of the Infinite love of Jesus, the foretaste of the eternal joy of thy Lord, when, with God-given faith, thou canst say, I love Thee, O only salvation of my soul; for Thou hast redeemed me by Thy Blood, my Lord and my God. Thou me!
