• The Covenant of Joy

  My vow:
  Whatsoever Thou sayest unto me, by Thy grace I will do it.

  My Constraint:
  Thy love, O Christ, my Lord.

  My Confidence:
  Thou art able to keep that which I have committed unto Thee.

  My Joy:
  To do Thy will, O God.

  My Discipline:
  That which I would not choose, but which Thy love appoints

  My Prayer:
  Conform my will to Thine.

  My Motto:
  Love to live, live to love.

  My Portion:
  The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance.

  Teach us, good Lord, to serve Thee as Thou deservest; to give and not to count the cost; to fight and not to heed the wounds; to toil and not to seek for rest; to labor and not to ask for any reward save that of knowing that we do Thy will, O Lord our God.
  ~Amy Carmichael
  

  May it be so with me.
