The Thing Which I Long For

Oh that God would give me the thing which I long for! That before I go hence and am no more seen, I may see a people wholly devoted to God, crucified to the world, and the world crucified to them. A people truly given up to God in body, soul and substance! How cheerfully would I then say, “Now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace.”

-- John Wesley (28 June 1703 – 2 March 1791, English preacher, theologian, considered one of the founders of the Methodist movement).
