Once made intimate with Him, our soul melts itself into all our Lord's interests, making His interests our own. In this way, the all-sufficiency of the High God becomes our full sufficiency. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven though this contentment is the inheritance of every saint in right and title, the possession and enjoyment of it depends upon our development of this inheritance. That development depends on a skill to be learned by experience and much practice, just as Paul says, \u003cem\u003eI have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content\u003c\/em\u003e (Philippians 4:11). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJeremiah Burroughs dedicated himself to learning this skill, and - digging for it as for rubies - found it.
