Henry Scougal Quote

Here's a quote from I great book I just read by Henry Scougal (1650-1678) - The Life of God in the Soul of Man.

...the ‘chief exercises of humility’ are those which relate unto Almighty God, so these are accompanied with the greatest satisfaction and sweetness. It is impossible to express the great pleasure and delight which religious persons feel in the lowest prostration of their souls before God, when, having a deep sense of the divine majesty and glory, they sink, if I may so speak, to the bottom of their beings, and vanish and disappear in the presence of God,

Oh to sink to the bottom of my being and vanish and disappear in the presence of God!
Isaiah 57:15
