God is the Ocean

H/T Jared Wilson:

“To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here. Fathers and mothers, husbands, wives or children or the company of earthly friends are but shadows; but the enjoyment of God is the substance. These are but the scattered beams; but God is the sun. These are but the streams; but God is the fountain. These are but drops; but God is the ocean.”
– Jonathan Edwards, The Works of Jonathan Edwards(Edinburgh, 1979), II:244.
