The Word
"I saw more clearly than ever, that the first and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not, how I might serve the Lord, glorify the Lord, but how much I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man might be nourished. I saw the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word or God and meditation on it."
