lead
it
to
the
end
for
which
it
was
created,
which
is
the
enjoyment
of
God.
It
is
well
known
that
the
sovereign
good
is
God
;
that
essential
blessedness
consists
in
union
with
God,
and
that
this
union
cannot
be
the
result
of
our
own
efforts,
since
God
only
communicates
Himself
to
the
soul
according
to
its
capacity.
We
cannot
be
united
to
God
without
passivity
and
simplicity;
and
this
union
being
bliss,
the
way
which
leads
to
it
must
be
the
best,
and
there
can
be
no
risk
in
walking
in
it
This
way
is
not
dangerous.
If
it
were,
Christ
would
not
have
represented
it
as
the
most
perfect
and
necessary
of
all
ways.
All
can
walk
in
it
;
and
as
all
are
called
to
blessedness,
all
are
called
to
the
enjoyment
of
God,
both
in
this
life
and
in
that
which
is
to
come,
since
the
enjoyment
of
God
is
blessedness.
I
say
the
enjo)anent
of
God
Himself,
not
of
His
gifts,
which
can
never,
impart
essential
blessedness,
not
being
able
fully
to
satisfy
the
soul,
which
is
so
constituted
that
even
the
richest
gifts
of
God
cannot
thoroughly
content
it.
The
desire
of
God
is
to
give
Himself
to
us,
according
to
the
capa-city
with
which
He
has
endowed
us
;
and
yet
we
fear
