The Enjoyment Of God Is

The End Of The Creation Is That The Creation Might Glorify [god]. Now What Is Glorifying God, But A Rejoicing At That Glory He Has Displayed?

Sincere Friendship Towards God, In All Who Believe Him To Be Properly An Intelligent, Willing Being, Does Most Apparently, Directly, And Strongly Incline To Prayer; And It No Less Disposes The Heart Strongly To Desire To Have Our Infinitely Glorious.

Being Sensible That I Am Unable To Do Any Thing Without God's Help, I Do Humbly Entreat Him, By His Grace, To Enable Me To Keep These Resolutions, So Far As They Are Agreeable To His Will, For Christ's Sake.

I Claim No Right To Myself, No Right To This Understanding, This Will, These Affections That Are In Me. Neither Do I Have Any Right To This Body Or Its Members, No Right To This Tongue, To These Hands, Feet, Ears Or Eyes. I Have Given Myself Clear Away And Not Retained Anything Of My Own.

What Self-righteous Persons Take To Themselves, Is The Same Work That Christ Was Engaged In When He Was In His Agony And Bloody Sweat, And When He Died On The Cross, Which Was The Greatest Thing That Ever The Eyes Of Angels Beheld. Christ Could Accomplish Other Parts Of This Work Without Cost; But This Part Cost Him His Life, As Well As Innumerable Pains And Labors. Yet This Is The Part Which Self-righteous Persons Go About To Accomplish For Themselves.
