“Lord, you emptied yourself of your eternal glory and took the form of a servant. Everything was made to serve and praise you, but you did not please yourself, you became servant of all. Lord of heaven and earth, you offered your cheeks to be struck, your back to be scourged and your hands and feet to be nailed to a cross.” John Wesley
Lord, let my constant refrain be the same as Paul’s constant refrain: “not me, but Christ.” May I say with the Psalmist, “Your decrees are the theme of my song” (119).
