• “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

Lo, I come to do Thy will, O God.–HEB. x. 9.
Teach me to do Thy will, for Thou art my God.–PS. cxliii. 10.

Lo! I come with joy to do The Father’s blessed will; Him in outward works pursue, And serve His pleasure still. Faithful to my Lord’s commands, I still would choose the better part; Serve with careful Martha’s hands, And loving Mary’s heart.
C. WESLEY.
A soul cannot be regarded as truly subdued and consecrated in its will, and as having passed into union with the Divine will, until it has a disposition to do promptly and faithfully all that God requires, as well as to endure patiently and thankfully all that He imposes.
T. C. UPHAM.
When we have learned to offer up every duty connected with our situation in life as a sacrifice to God, a settled employment becomes just a settled habit of prayer.
THOMAS ERSKINE.
“Do the duty which lies nearest thee,” which thou knowest to be a duty. Thy second duty will already have become clearer.
T. CARLYLE.
