"I will be their God."-Jeremiah 31:33

Christian! here is all thou canst require. To make thee happy thou
wantest something that shall satisfy thee; and is not this enough? If thou
canst pour this promise into thy cup, wilt thou not say, with David,
"My cup runneth over; I have more than heart can wish"? When this is
fulfilled, "I am thy God," art thou not possessor of all things? Desire is
insatiable as death, but He who filleth all in all can fill it. The
capacity of our wishes who can measure? but the immeasurable wealth of God
can more than overflow it. I ask thee if thou art not complete when God
is thine? Dost thou want anything but God? Is not His all-sufficiency
enough to satisfy thee if all else should fail? But thou wantest more
than quiet satisfaction; thou desirest rapturous delight. Come, soul,
here is music fit for heaven in this thy portion, for God is the Maker of
Heaven. Not all the music blown from sweet instruments, or drawn from
living strings, can yield such melody as this sweet promise, "I !
will be their God." Here is a deep sea of bliss, a shoreless ocean of
delight; come, bathe thy spirit in it; swim an age, and thou shalt find
no shore; dive throughout eternity, and thou shalt find no bottom. "I
will be their God." If this do not make thine eyes sparkle, and thy
heart beat high with bliss, then assuredly thy soul is not in a healthy
state. But thou wantest more than present delights-thou cravest something
concerning which thou mayest exercise hope; and what more canst thou
hope for than the fulfillment of this great promise, "I will be their
God"? This is the masterpiece of all the promises; its enjoyment makes a
heaven below, and will make a heaven above. Dwell in the light of thy
Lord, and let thy soul be always ravished with His love. Get out the
marrow and fatness which this portion yields thee. Live up to thy
privileges, and rejoice with unspeakable joy.
