SD 5993
. . . genuine glory is the glory of uses
separated from self-regard,
thus solely for the sake of the use -
this ambition is heartfelt delight,
and inflows, not from self and its own flesh,
but from the Lord through heaven . . .

SD 6005
That the Lord moves a person
to think and will good as of himself,
is the very essential of reformation;
for thus it is appropriated to him as his own,
or thereby it enters his affection,
and becomes of the love.
This is reciprocation.
