“God is the most glorious object that our minds could ever fasten upon, the most alluring. Thoughts of Him should therefore swallow up all other thoughts, as they are not worthy to be seen the same day with Him. But I appeal to your experience, are not your thoughts of Him the most unsteady. Do you not have as much trouble holding your thoughts on Him as you would holding a telescope on a star with a palsy-shaking hand? Thomas Goodwin (1600-1679)
