Good morning everyone,let us reason together. How different will be the state of the believer in heaven from what it is here!here he is born to toil&suffer weariness,but in the land of the immortal,fatigue is never know. Anxious to serve his master,he finds his strength unequal to his zeal:his constant cry is,Help me to serve Thee,o my God.If he be thoroughly active,he will have much labour;not too much for his will,but more than enough for his power,so that he will cry out,I am not wearied of the labour,but I am wearied in it.Ah!christian, the hot day of weariness lasts not for ever;the sun is nearing the horizon;it shall rise again with a brighter day than thou hast ever seen upon a land where they serve God day&night,&yet rest from their labours.Here,rest is but partial,there,it is perfect.Here the christian is aways unsettled;he feels that he has not yet attained.There,all are at rest; they have attained the summit of the mountain;they have ascended to the bosom of their God.Higher they cannot go.Ah,toil-worn labourer,only think when thou shall rest for ever!Canst thou conceive it?it is rest eternal;a rest thatremaineth.Here,my best joys bearmortalon their brow;my fair flowers fade ;my dainty cups are drained to dregs;my sweetest birds fall before Death arrows;my most pleasant days are shadowed into night;&the flood-tides of my bliss subside into ebbs of arrow;but there,everything is immortal;the harps abides un-rusted,the crown un-withered,the eye undimmed,the voice un-faltering,the heart unwavering,&the immortal being is wholly absorbed in infinity delight.Happy day!Happy!when mortality shall be swallowed up life,&the Eternal sabbath shall begin. Now,with a loud voice as a fire&thunder,Say,o lord my God,help me to serve YOUthe more&to make heaven.(Hebrew 4:9).
