“To lose the heavenly warmth and spiritual liveliness of your affections is undoubtedly a far more considerable loss than to lose the wife of your bosom, or the sweetest child that ever a tender parent laid in the grave…It is better for you to bury ten sons, than to remit one degree of love or delight in God.”
This from John Flavel in Facing Grief. His counsel is either insanely true or truly insane. It all depends on how glorious God really is.
