Glorious

This is from one of my favorite books (Faithful Women & Their Extraordinary GOD)...
I just had to share with you!

They say there is a young lady in (New Haven) who is loved of that Great Being, who made and rules the world, and that there are certain seasons in which this Great Being, in some way or other invisible, comes to her and fills her mind with exceeding sweet delight; and that she hardly cares for anything, except to meditate on Him... You could not persuade her to do any thing wrong or sinful, if you would give her all the world, lest she should offend this Great Being. She is of a wonderful sweetness, calmness, and universal benevolence of mind; especially after this Great God has manifested himself to her mind. She will sometimes go about from place to place, singing sweetly; and seems to be always full of joy and pleasure... she loves to be alone, walking in the fields and groves, and seems to have some one invisible always conversing with her. 
Written by Jonathan Edwards. His real thoughts about his bride to be Sarah (he wrote this while he was supposed to be studying greek).
