It seemed to me that every one must be at peace with God, and animated by His Spirit. Everything that my eyes rested upon seemed to have undergone a change. The trees were more beautiful, and the birds sang more sweetly than ever before; they seemed to be praising the Creator in their songs. I did not care to talk, for fear this happiness might pass away, and I should lose the precious evidence of Jesus’ love for me. {LS 24.4}

Det var, for mig, som om at enhver måtte være i fred med Gud og gjort levende med hans Ånd. Alt hvad mit øje hvilede på synes at have undergået en forandring. Træerne var skønnere og fuglene sang mere sødt end nogensinde før; de synes at prise Skaberen i deres sange. Jeg har ikke lyst til at tale, af frygt for at denne lykke skal forsvinde og jeg skulle miste det dyrebare vidnesbyrd for Jesu kærlighed for mig.
