The fellowship of being near unto God must become reality, in the full and rigorous prosecution of life. It must permeate and give color to our feeling, our perceptions, our sensations, our thinking, our imagining, our willing, our acting, our speaking. It must not stand as a foreign factor in our life, but it must be the passion that breathes through our whole existence.
-Abraham Kuyper, To Be Near Unto God
The Puritan identity. On a journey to a better country (Hebrews 11:16), going further up and further in to the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God (Romans 11:33) by laboring to delight in the law of the LORD and meditate on it day and night (Psalm 1:2) while the war and conflict relentlessly rage on until Christ comes (Romans 7:22-25) or calls me home.

Amen! Praise God! Oh how I would love to read that book! I'm looking forward to seeing and spending countless hours in the library in Heaven... If God will shield my eyes from His own brilliant glory long enough for me to be able pay attention to anyone or anything else, that is. :)
