Devotion
God of my end, it is my greatest, noblest pleasure to be acquainted with Thee
and with my rational, immortal soul; it is sweet and entertaining to look into
my being when all my powers and passions are united and engaged in pursuit of
Thee, when my soul longs and passionately breathes after conformity to Thee
and the full enjoyment of Thee; no hours pass away with so much pleasure as
those spent in communion with Thee and with my heart.
O how desirable, how profitable to the Christian life is a spirit of holy
watchfulness and godly jealousy over myself when my soul is afraid of nothing
except grieving and offending Thee, the blessed God, my Father and friend,
whom I then love and long to please, rather than be happy in myself! Knowing,
as I do, that this is the pious temper, worthy of the highest ambition, and
closest pursuit of intelligent creatures and holy Christians, may my joy
derive from glorifying and delighting Thee. I long to fill all my time for
Thee, whether at home or in the way; to place all my concerns in Thy hands; to
be entirely at Thy disposal, having no will or interest of my own. Help me to
live to Thee for ever, to make Thee my last and only end, so that I may never
more in one instance love my sinful self.
