A Godly Man is Fired with Love to God
The following quotes are taken from Thomas Watson’s The Godly Man’s Picture.
“As faith enlivens, so love sweetens every duty.” -30
“A godly man loves God and therefore delights to be in his presence; he loves God and therefore takes comfort in nothing without him.” -30
“Let us test our godliness by this touch-stone: Do we love God? Is he our treasure and centre? Can we, with David, call God our ‘joy’, yes, our ‘exceeding joy’? Do we delight in drawing near to him, and ‘come before his presence with singing’? Do we love him for his beauty more than his jewels? Do we love him when he seems not to love us?” -31
“Many court him, but few love him. People are for the most part eaten up with self-love; they love their ease, their worldly profit, their lusts, but they do not have a drop of love to God.” -31
