Ralph Erskine (Preventing Love), Sermons 1:440-441:

They that have found saving desires after the Lord are unsatisfied till their desire be turned to delight, and till they attain this: “Whom having not seen we love; in whom, though now we see him not, yet believing, we rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory.” When the Lord manifests himself to them as reconciled in Christ, when he manifests his love to their souls and opens the flood-gates of his Spirit’s influences, O then they cannot but delight in him, and be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; for then they have a feast of fat things, and of wines on the lees, well refined. O sensualists, that never had a more pleasant hour all your days, than when you sat down to a hearty meal of meat or drink, you are but a miserable creature. There is meat to eat that you know not of, and joy that you intermeddle not with. O the joy and triumph that there is in the enjoyment of a God in Christ: “Thanks be to God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ;” ALWAYS CAUSES TO TRIUMPH.
