Prayer continues in the desire of the heart, though the understanding be employed on outward things.
John WesleyOne of the greatest evidences of God's love to those that love him is, to send them afflictions, with grace to bear them.
John WesleyBeware, lastly, of imagining you shall obtain the end without using the means conducive to it.
John WesleyBeware you are not a fiery, persecuting enthusiast. Do not imagine that God has called you (just contrary to the spirit of Him you style your Master) to destroy menโs lives, and not to save them. Never dream of forcing men into the ways of God. Think yourself, and let think. Use no constraint in matters of religion. Even those who are farthest out of the way never compel to come in by any other means than reason, truth, and love.
John Wesley
