But I'm cross-posting it here.
For Charlie Kirk and everyone else who has been murdered, this is an excerpt from the funeral address for David Brainerd, by Jonathan Edwards:
_____
As if he had said,
"This is not the time and place for that freedom, your love to me desires: that is appointed in heaven, after my ascension. I am going thither: and you that are my true disciples, shall, as my brethren and companions, soon be there with me in my glory.
And then there shall be no restraint.
That is the place appointed for the most perfect expressions of complacence and endearment, and full enjoyment of mutual love."
And accordingly the souls of departed saints with Christ in heaven, shall have Christ as it were unbosomed unto them, manifesting those infinite riches of love towards them, that have been there from eternity: and they shall be enabled to express their love to him, in an infinitely better manner than ever they could while in the body.
Thus they shall eat and drink abundantly, and swim in the ocean of love, and be eternally swallowed up in the infinitely bright, and infinitely mild and sweet beams of divine love; eternally receiving that light, eternally full of it, and eternally compassed round with it, and everlastingly reflecting it back again to the fountain of it.
