We are upon the utmost heights of human greatness!
(William Law, "A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life")
Prayer is the nearest approach to God, and the highest
enjoyment of Him, that we are capable of in this life.
Prayer is . . .
the noblest exercise of the soul,
the most exalted use of our best faculties, and
the highest imitation of the blessed inhabitants of Heaven.
When our hearts are full of God, sending up holy desires
to the throne of grace, we are then in our highest state.
We are upon the utmost heights of human greatness!
We are not merely before kings and princes, but in the
presence and audience of the Lord of all the world, and
can be no higher, until death is swallowed up in glory!
