It is the sixteenth day of Advent
God is With Us
God, I give you the praise for days well spent.
But I am yet unsatisfied, because I do not enjoy enough of you.
I apprehend myself at too great a distance from you.
I would have my soul more closely united to you by faith and love.
You know, Lord, that I would love you above all things.
You know me, you know my desires, my expectations.
My joys all centre in you and it is you that I desire.
It is your favour, your acceptance, the communications of your grace that I earnestly wish for more than anything in the world.
~Susanna Wesley~ Mother of John and Charles Wesley
All of my Heart, by Elton Smith and Larry Holder, sung by Steve Israel
