Swim in an ocean of unmixed delight



(Thomas Boston, "Human Nature in its Fourfold State")

Heaven is a paradise of pleasure and delight. The glorified 
saints are advanced to this heavenly paradise. There they 
shall not only see, but "eat of the tree of life, which is in the 
midst of the paradise of God," Rev. 2:7. They shall behold 
the Mediator's glory, and be satisfied with His goodness.
They shall "drink from Your rivers of delight," Psalm 36:8, 
the sweetest and purest pleasures which Immanuel's land 
affords, and shall swim in an ocean of unmixed delight 
forevermore! 

They shall lack nothing that may contribute to their full 
satisfaction. They may go forever through Immanuel's 
land, and behold the glory and riches thereof, with the 
satisfying thought that all they see is eternally their 
own! "He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will 
be his God and he will be My son!" Revelation 21:7
