More comforts, sweetness, and pleasantness – Thomas Brooks

A holy life affords the greatest ground of rejoicing. There is no pleasure nor felicity compared to that which flows from the ways of sanctity.

The sweetest roses, the strongest comforts, and the greatest pleasantness is to be found in the ways of holiness. Oh the joy, the peace, the tranquility, the serenity which attends the ways of purity! Christians have more comforts, sweetness, and pleasantness, in one hour’s communion with God, in one hour’s walking with God than ever they have found in all their former ways of ungodliness and wickedness.
