好英文娓娓动听Words and Expressions
The heaven I desired was a heaven of holiness；to be with God， and to spend my eternity in divine love， and holy communion with Christ.A My mind was very much taken up with contemplations on heaven， and the enjoyments there；and living there in perfect holiness， humility， and love；and it used at that time to appear a great part of the happiness of heaven， that there the saints could express their love to Christ.It appeared to me a great clog and burden， that what I felt within， I could not express as I desired.The inward ardor of my soul seemed to be hindered and pent up， and could not freely flame out as it would.I used often to think， how in heaven this principle should freely and fully vent and express itself.Heaven appeared exceedingly delightful， as a world of love；and that all happiness consisted in living in pure， humble， heavenly， divine love.
I remember the thoughts I used then to have of holiness；B and said sometimes to myself，“I do certainly know that I love holiness， such as the gospel prescribes.”It appeared to me that there was nothing in it but what was ravishingly lovely；the highest beauty and amiableness-a divine beauty；far purer than anything here upon earth；and that every thing else was like mire and defilement in comparison of it.
C Holiness， as I then wrote down some of my contemplations on it， appeared to me to be of a sweet， pleasant， charming， serene， calm nature；which brought an inexpressible purity， brightness， peacefulness and ravishment to the soul. Ln other words， that it made the soul like a field or garden of God， with all manner of pleasant flowers；enjoying a sweet calm， and the gentle vivifying beams of the sun.The soul of a true Christian， as I then wrote my meditations， appeared like such a little white flower as we see in the spring of the year；low and humble on the ground， opening its bosom to receive the pleasant beams of the sun"s glory；rejoicing， as it were， in a calm rapture；diffusing around a sweet fragrancy；standing peacefully and lovingly， in the midst of other flowers round about；all in like manner opening their bosoms， to drink in the light of the sun.There was no part of creature holiness that I had so great a sense of its loveliness， as humility， brokenness of heart， and poverty of spirit；and there was nothing that I so earnestly longed for.My heart panted after this-to lie low before God， as in the dust；that I might be nothing， and that God might be all， that I might become as a little child.
