Delight, Joy, and Bliss

"...Fix your eyes, like a little innocent child, upon the face of God, steadfastly and joyfully; and He in return ... will keep His eyes upon you ... All your delight, joy, and bliss will be in God, and God, in return, will have His joy and good pleasure in you.  --Gerhard Tersteegen, in the early 18th century (language updated)

I wonder about odd things sometimes ... such as, do you think Gerhard, when he wrote this about 300 years ago, had any idea his thoughts would be blogged someday?
