We must, therefore, be careful that our primary joy is in God, as he is in and of himself, and not in our experience of God, That we have been made recipients of his grace and are enabled to behold his beauty is a marvelous thing indeed. But it is secondary and consequential to a recognition of God's inherent excellency. What brings you greatest ad most immediate delight: your experience of a revelation of Christ, or Christ revealed?
