The Infinity Of God

The Infinity of God is our place of abode:
It is the region and the extent of Him,
And it is undefinably fulfilling;
Because it is the room and place of our treasure;
Our repository for hope and grace:
Even the Seat and Throne of Glory;
And the Kingdom of our soul's desire.

It is through the Light therein that we live and see;
And the Life thereof that inspires us:
The violence of His love and the passion of His Word.
It is the field where our supplications expatiate;
The ground and foundation of all satisfactions;
It envelopes us; majestically filling.......stimulating:
Awesomely wholly within, yet still, wholly without.

We survey the heavens with our eyes,
And know the world through our senses,
But His Infinity is experienced only in the soul.
The immensity of God is an Eternal Tabernacle,
More clearly seen in the eye of the redeemed soul
Than are castles and palaces to the eye of the body;
There; for the ransomed to feel, to admire, and to rest within.

Were it not for this: His Infinity;
God's bounty would of necessity be limited;
His goodness would want of a receptacle for its effusions;
His gifts would be fixed and confined;
His wisdom, understanding, and counsel would evaporate,
And the light of His creation would imperceptibly ebb;
Being inevitably fatal to every being.

Nay! He, even He alone spreadeth out and masters the heavens:
"Lift up your eyes on high,
And behold who hath created these things,
That bringeth out there host by number:
He calleth them all by name,
By the greatness of His might,
For that He is strong in power; not one faileth."

He is of old: the Ancient of Days;
The Uncreated Spirit: being, before time,
So not to be bound within it;
Before space or place were created; He was,
So not to be limited to it, or by it.
He is the unbounded, sovereign First Being:
From whom, and in whom all others have their being.
