But in the end, "the saints shall stand before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple: and the Lamb shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters," and there shall be no more "sorrow nor pain, nor any thing that defileth or worketh abomination," "for without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie."
"Father," he said, pointing to the cottage, "you have been there you know all tell me where are they?" The old man's eyes filled with tears, as he shook his head, and laid his hand kindly on the young man's shoulder. "Pierre," said he, "you have read 'whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth?" The soldier bowed his head. "Pierre," exclaimed the good priest, "let us sit down on this bank.
And as for you, if ye will walk in the ways of chastity and purity in patience and humility of heart, the Lord will dwell among you, for He loveth a chaste life, and if you, my children, will observe the commandments of the Lord, He will raise you up here, in this world, and bless you there, in the world to come.
And now we see renderings of the truth that God is love which degrade the lofty, noble, sovereign conception of the righteous God that loveth, into mere Indulgence on the throne of the universe.

Thus will it have delicacy and sweetness.

Go to, faithful soul, prepare thy heart for this bridegroom that he may vouchsafe to come to thee and dwell within thee, for so He saith, if any man loveth me he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him and make our abode with him. Give, therefore, place to Christ and refuse entrance to all others. When thou hast Christ, thou art rich, and hast sufficient.
"My poor Alwyn," he said, "if thou canst save this young maid, whom by my troth I loved well, and who tells me yet that she loveth me as a sister loves, right glad shall I be. But thou stakest thy peace of mind against hers! I saw Sibyll, just ere we met, pass to the ramparts, alone; at this sharp season the place is deserted; go."
Thence then did Amile betake him, and abode in the aforesaid city with his wife. But Amis abode with his wife, and he became mesel by the will of our Lord, in such wise that he might not move from his bed; for God chastiseth him that He loveth.
