A Little Nook in the Very Heart
of God by J.R. Miller God's plan for every marriage
is happiness. Marriage is meant to be a miniature
of heaven, a fragment of the celestial blessedness let down
into this world. Marriage is meant to be a little
sanctuary into which husband and wife may flee from earth's
storms and dangers, where in love's shelter, their hearts
fed with affection's daily bread, they may dwell in quiet peace.
Marriage is meant to be a shelter in which, covered from the frosts
of the world and shielded from its cold and tempests, two lives
may grow together into richest beauty, realizing their sweetest
dreams of happiness, blending in whatever things are true,
whatever things are pure, and attaining the finest possibilities
of godly character. Marriage is meant to be a holy
ark floating on the wild floods of human life, like Noah's ark
on the deluge, bearing to heaven's gates, to the harbor of glory,
the lives which God has shut within its doors. A godly marriage
is a little nook in the very heart of God, where faithful
souls are held close to the Father's heart and carried safely amid
dangers and sorrows to the home above. This Puritan devotional has been
