Sincere friendship towards God, in all who believe him to be properly an intelligent, willing being, does most apparently, directly, and strongly incline to prayer; and it no less disposes the heart strongly to desire to have our infinitely glorious.

JONATHAN EDWARDS

Happiness Misery Ourselves Purchase Satisfaction
