"...The religion of Jesus possesses this remarkable characteristic in the experience of its disciples: there is more true holiness in the heart's thirst for sanctification, more solid happiness in a passing thought of God, more real life in one believing look at the Savior, more perfect rest in one single promise of God's Word, and more of the reality of heaven in a glance within the veil than this world could ever give or its religion could ever inspire. If it were possible to empty the whole world into the soul, the inquiry of mankind would still be, 'Who will show me any good?'....But let one devout, holy, loving thought of God in Christ enter that soul and its satisfaction is full, its happiness complete...."
-Octavious Winslow, "Our God" p. 51 (RHB)
