• “I henceforth take Jesus Christ to be mine. I promise to receive Him as a husband to me. And I give myself to Him, unworthy though I am, to be His spouse. I ask of Him, in this marriage of spirit with spirit, that I may be of the same mind with Him — meek, pure, nothing in myself, and united in God’s will. And, pledged as I am to be His, I accept as part of my marriage portion, the temptations and sorrows, the crosses and the contempt which fell to Him. — Jeanne M.B. de la Mothe Guyon, Sealed with her ring.”

    Having been raised in Bethlehem I have a special appreciation for the Moravians. Their story is one of incredible faith and courage. The book mentioned, "Moravian Women's Memoirs" is excellent. It is one I read and re-read using portions as my devotions. And a Moravian Lovefeast is one of the most beautiful worship celebrations that you can attend. If a church near you ever holds one you would be blessed by attending I know. Thanks for including these wonderful women on this site.

  • “Jesus, who so often says “Whoever loves Me…” “Do you love Me?” is concerned about our LOVE! He is concerned about a special kind of love…He who has loved us so much wants to possess us completely, with everything we are and have. Jesus gave Himself wholly and completely for us. Now His love is yearning for us to surrender ourselves and everything that we are to Him, so that He can really be our “first love” – Basilea Schlink
