Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 14. And the soul will be filled with happiness from the influx of good from heaven, both the interior will and the truths and affections thence derived, and the subordinate principles which are serviceable to good and truth, and the holy desires which you have to rightly serve the Lord, and every principle in the mind which desires to be led to better things, and all things which are innocent but not yet under the direction of true wisdom, and the affections which are not yet united to genuine good from the Lord in the external mind.
