We are home safe and sound now from vacation and for some pesky reason, this excellent quote didn't publish on September 1, the day it was set to. Here it is now. Read and be edified.
Grace in the soul is as much from Christ, as the light in a glass, held out in the sunbeams, is from the sun. [...] But the soul of a saint receives light from the Sun of Righteousness, in such a manner that its nature is changed, and it becomes properly a luminous thing; not only does the sun shine in the saints, but they also become little suns, partaking of the nature of the Fountain of their light.
-- Jonathan Edwards, in The Religious Affections
