Gracious God, we pray, work in us such a holy love to you, that we may render to you all that we have. We have sometimes said in our soul: “Take not tithe, but take all.” Keep us true to this. May we feel that we are “not our own, but bought with a price,” and let this be no sentiment which ought to have power over us, but a real force which constrains us, because “we thus judge that if one died for all, then all died, and that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him that died for them and rose again.”
We do pray for grace, that we may spend all our time, every faculty, and all that we possess in glorifying our Lord and Master among the sons of men, in “Works which perfect saints above and holy angels cannot do.”
