Deuteronomy 26:3

Verse 3. And you shall come to the celestial good which is derived from these states, and shall in them acknowledge with thankfulness the goodness and wisdom of the Lord, and that you are come into the state promised you in all the previous struggles of the soul that you should possess it. [Note. —Whatever happiness the soul may have promised itself, or imagined (that is really good and unselfish), it is to be believed that the reality will exceed it eventually if the leadings of Providence are followed.]
