Give me grace to be holy, kind, gentle, pure, peaceable,
to live for thee and not for self,
to copy thy words, acts, spirit,
to be transformed into thy likeness,
to be consecrated wholly to thee,
to live entirely to thy glory.

One more day and I'll be finished with Mark.

Make me to abhor that which grieves thy Holy Spirit,
To suspect consolations of a worldly nature,
to shun a careless way of life,
to reprove evil,
to instruct with meekness those who oppose me,
to be gentle and patient towards all men,
to be not only a professor bur an example of the gospel,
displaying in every relation, office, and condition its excellency, loveliness, and advantages.

Almighty God,

I am loved with everlasting love,
clothed in eternal righteousness,
my peace flowing like a river,
my comforts many and large,
my joy and triumph unutterable,
my soul lively with a knowledge of salvation,
my sense of justification unclouded.

I have scarce anything to pray for.

"Give me the assurance that in Christ I died, in him I rose, in his life I live, in his victory I triumph, in his ascension I shall be glorified."

Today I finished the book of Matthew.

"I rejoice that [Christ] failed not, nor was discouraged, but accomplished the work thou gavest him to do;
and said on the cross,'It is finished.'

I exult in the thought that
thy justice is satisfied,
thy truth established,
thy law magnified,
and a foundation is laid for my hope."
