Isaac Ambrose urges us on:
Oh consider! Is this now and then going to heaven within the veil, to live the life of friends? Is this to carry ourselves as children? What, to be so strange at home? But now and then? Once in a month, in a year? There to be seldom, where we should always be? Is Jesus Christ such a mean thing, that a visit now and then should serve the turn? The Queen of Sheba hearing Solomon's wisdom, Oh, said she, "Happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom." 1 Kings 10:8. If she was so taken with Solomon, remember, "That a greater than Solomon is here:" and shall we deprive ourselves of that blessedness, which we might enjoy, by standing always in the presence of Christ, to hear his wisdom, and to behold his glory? (Looking Unto Jesus, 32).
