Sample Book Insights:
#1 God is great, and we should praise Him. But we must understand that we are not great, because we are but a fragment of His creation. We were created for God, and our hearts are restless until they rest in Him.
#2 I want to repose on God, my sole good. I want to forget my ills and embrace him, my only salvation. I want to enlarge my mansion, so that you can enter it and inebriate me. I want to repair it, because it has within it things that must offend your eyes. But who will cleanse it.
#3 I was born a child, and I lived as such. But I, Lord, who liveth forever, and in whom nothing dies: before the foundation of the worlds, and before all that can be called before, You are, and You are God and Lord of all which You have created.
#4 The infant is innocent, because the source of its life, milk, is provided by someone else. We tolerate these things because they will disappear as the child grows up.
