Fix your eyes upon this one point, and your whole soul shall be full of light! God will continually left up the light of his countenance upon you, his Holy Spirit shall dwell in you, and shine more and more unto that perfect day. He shall purify your hearts by faith fron every earthly thought and unholy affection; he shall establish your souls with so lively a hope of his favour, as already lays hold on the prize of your high calling; he shall fill you with peace, and joy, and love--love, the brightness of his glory, the express image of his person--love which never ceaseth, never faileth, but still extends its vivifying flame, still goeth on conquering and to conquer, till what was a weak, blind, wavering, sinful creature shall be filled with all the fullness of God, and worship in his presence when time shall be no more!
- Charles Wesley
