Matthew and Joanna Billson

Affections by Jonathan Edwards

The more a true saint loves God with a gracious love, the more he desires to love him, and the more uneasy is he at his want of love to him;

the more he hates sin, the more he desires to hate it, and laments that he has so much remaining love to it;

the more he mourns for sin, the more he longs to mourn for sin;

the more his heart is broke, the more he desires it should be broke;

the more he thirsts and longs after God and holiness, the more he longs to long, and breathe out his very soul in longings after God:

the kindling and raising of gracious affections is like kindling a flame; the higher it is raised, the more ardent it is; and the more it burns, the more vehemently does it tend and seek to burn.
