"The secret and internal love which the believer has toward his Lord, and which the Lord has toward him, has four aspects to it." Molinos
Illumination:
all five senses experience the greatness of God
all five senses experience the depravity of self
Inflamed Love:
offers self as a living sacrifice
constantly consumed by divine fire
Peace and Joyful Rest:
given to sovereignty
Infilling of the Lord's Power:
overflowing fruit of the Spirit
displayed for all to see
displayed all for God's glory
"There are two results that arise from these four aspects of love. The first is a great courage to suffer for God. The second is a hope, even an assurance, that the believer can never lose God, nor be separated from Him regardless of outward evidence."
