The enjoyment of [God] is our proper happiness, and is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied. To…enjoy God is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here: better than fathers and mothers, husbands, wives, or children, or the company of any or all earthly friends. These are but shadows; but God is the substance. These are but scattered beams; but God is the sun. These are but streams; but God is the fountain. These are but drops; but God is the ocean. Therefore, it becomes us to spend this life only as a journey toward heaven. - Jonathan Edwards
