[b]The Lord has two heavens
(Thomas Watson, "Body of Divinity")
"Just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in
all you do; for it is written--Be holy, because I
am holy." 1 Peter 1:15-16
God is not drawn to any person's outward beauty,
great abilities, noble blood or worldly grandeur. But
He is drawn to a heart embellished with holiness.
Christ never admired anything but the beauty of
holiness. He slighted the glorious buildings of the
temple--but admired the woman's faith, and said,
"O woman, great is your faith!" As a king delights
to see his image upon a piece of coin; so where
God sees His likeness--He gives His love! The Lord
has two heavens to dwell in--and the holy heart
is one of them!
