I hardly ever so longed to live to God and to be altigether devoted to Him. i want to wear out my life in His service, and for His Glory!!
David BrainerdAs long as I see anything to be done for God, life is worth having; but O how vain and unworthy it is to live for any lower end!
David BrainerdOh! one hour with God infinitely exceeds all the pleasures and delights of this lower world.
David BrainerdMy desires seem especially to be after weanedness from the world, perfect deadness to it, and that I may be crucified to all its allurements. My soul desires to feel itself more of a pilgrim and a stranger here below, that nothing may divert me from pressing through the lonely desert, till I arrive at my Father's house.
