That you may pass a good
judgment on your spiritual condition, always consider your best conversations and best experiences to be the ones that produce the following two effects: first, those conversations
and experiences that make you least, lowest, and most like a little child; and, second, those that do most engage and fix your heart in a full and firm disposition to deny yourself for God and to spend and be spent for him.
- Jonathan Edwards (Advice to Young Converts)
Veni, Domine Jesu - Come, Lord Jesus
"Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.
By myself I have sworn; from my mouth has gone out in righteousness a word that shall not return:
To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear allegiance." - Isaiah 45:22-23 (ESV)
"Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts" - Psalm 95:7b-8a (ESV)
"Blessed is the one whose transfression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit." - Psalm 32:1-2 (ESV)
"Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts" - Psalm 95:7b-8a (ESV)
