It is a great mistake among many tender Christians to think that they have no communion with God but when they find God raising the springs of joy and comfort in their souls; when they find the sensible presence of God cheering, refreshing, and enlarging of them in their closets. Then they are willing to grant that they have had sweet communion with God in their closets, but if He breaks their hearts for sin, if He meets with them and makes His power and His presence manifest in debasing and casting down their souls upon the sight and sense of their strong corruptions and imperfections, how unwilling are they to believe that they have had any communication with God? Well, friends, remember this once for all, that a Christian may have as real communion with God in a heart-humbling way as he can have in a heart-comforting way; a Christian may have as choice communion with God when his eyes are full of tears as he can have when his heart is full of joy.

Let Job and Nebuchadnezzar testify this truth, who fell from great wealth to great want. No man can promise himself to be wealthy till night; one storm at sea, one false friend, one unadvised word, one false witness may make you a beggar and a prisoner all at once.
Sin is a plague, yes, the greatest and most infectious plague in the world; and yet, ah! how few are there that tremble at it, that keep at a distance from it!
