June 23, 2024


“Today, give up thy self, thy body, soul, and spirit, to God, through Christ Jesus; desiring nothing but that God may be glorified in all thou art, all thou dost, all thou sufferest; seeking nothing but to know God, and his Son Jesus Christ, through the Eternal Spirit; pursuing nothing but to love him, to serve him, and to enjoy him, at this hour, and to all eternity!”

- John Wesley, from his sermon,” Upon Our Lord’s Sermon on the Mount, Discourse IX”
