O God, fill my soul with so entire a love of Thee that I may
love nothing but for Thy sake and in subordination to Thy love. Give me grace
to study Thy knowledge daily that the more I know Thee, the more I may love
Thee. Create in me a zealous obedience to all Thy commands, a cheerful patience
under all Thy chastisements, and a thankful resignation to all Thy disposals.
Let it be the one business of my life to glorify Thee by every word of my
tongue, by every work of my hand, by professing Thy truth, and by engaging all
men, so far as in me lies, to glorify and love Thee.
~ John Wesley, quoted in Disciplines of a Godly Woman (Wheaton, Illinois: Crossway, 2001) p.14
