It is the sixteenth day of Advent

God is With Us



Man looking out to sea




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.





Man praying in countryside





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.




Man in surf






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
