The Blessed Happiness of Heaven
PRAYER.

My Lord and my God, help me to understand that when I am joined to You in eternity, all will be revealed.

THE Holy Spirit dwells in body and soul as in a temple. He is able to search into all our thoughts and penetrate into every motive of the heart. Therefore He pervades us as light pervades a building.

In Scripture language we are said to be in Him, and He in us. It is plain that such an inhabititeration brings the Christian into a state altogether new and marvelous and gives him a place and an office which he had not before.

-Indwelling Spirit
