The first effect of a sincere love is N earnest desire to know all that we ought to do to gratify the object of our affection. Any other desire is a proof that we live ourselves under a pretense if loving God ;that we are seeking an empty and deceitful consolation in Him;that we would use God as an instrument for our pleasure, instead if sacrificing that for His glory. God forbid that His children shiuld so live Him! Cost what it may,we must both know and do without reservation what He requires of us. ~On Prayer And The Principal Exercises of Piety Francois Fenelon and Madame Jeanne Guyon
