My soul has always the most exalted, yet most encouraging views of God when I behold His glory in the face of Jesus. In looking to Jesus we cease to have gloomy thoughts of God. We remember that in Him the Lord is our reconciled Father, full of compassion and love towards us. This view is the most assimilating and strengthening, as well as comforting to our minds. I can never so well obey the Lord, (whether in pleasing or painful circumstances,) as when I feel that He loves me. There is no other way of obtaining this feeling, except by looking to Him who has given himself to restore us to God.
Hannah Kilham — Memoir of the Late Hannah Kilham, chiefly compiled from her journal, and edited by her daughter-in-law, Sarah Biller (London: Darton and Harvey, 1837), ch. II, p. 37
