The enjoyment of God is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied.

Jonathan Edwards

The God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider… abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked: his wrath towards you burns like fire; he looks upon you as worthy of nothing else, but to be cast into the fire.
