DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.B. Simpson speaks about the deep longing for God's peace and presence,
emphasizing the desire for rest in the midst of life's struggles and the
assurance that in Christ, all questions are answered and every need is
met. He invites believers to seek the intimate relationship with God,
where they can find solace and exclusive love, akin to lying close to
His heart. Simpson illustrates that while God's love is personal and
intimate, it is also vast enough to encompass all who seek Him, much
like the sun reflected in countless pools of water, each appearing to
hold the sun entirely.

Beloved, do you not long for God's quiet, the inner chambers, the shadow
of the Almighty, the secret of His presence? Your life has been,
perhaps, all driving and doing; or perhaps straining, struggling,
longing and not obtaining. You long for rest! you long to lie down close
to His heart and know that you have all in Him, that every question is
answered, every doubt settled, every interest safe, every prayer
answered, every desire satisfied. Lift up the cry, Tell me, 0 thou whom
my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest
at noon! Blessed be His name!

He has for us His exclusive love-a love which each individual feels is
all for himself, one in which he can lie alone upon His breast and have
a place which no other can dispute.

And yet His heart is so great that He can hold a thousand millions just
as near, and each heart seems to possess Him as exclusively for his own
as the thousand little pools of water upon the beach can reflect the
sun, and each little pool appears to have the whole sun captured in its
beautiful depths. Christ can teach us this secret of His inmost love.
