"At our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, Oh my beloved." - Song of Solomon 7:13
Yes, blessed Jesus! at the gates of ordinances, and the word of thy
gospel, all the pleasant and precious fruits of the Spirit, which come
in new and in fresh supplies from thee, are indeed laid up. And Oh how
sweet and refreshing are they brought home and laid up in my heart by
thy divine power, when thou enablest me by faith, and in thy leadings
and strength, to go forth and bring them home, and to live upon them,
and feed upon them from day to day! And shall I not then, blessed
Jesus, by the endearing name of my Beloved, call upon thee to command
the north wind and the south wind to blow upon thy garden in my heart
and in my soul, that the spices may flow; and that then my Beloved may
come into his garden, and eat of his own pleasant fruits which his
grace alone planted, and which his Spirit bringeth forth and ripens?
