The true heart of discipline is relationship-a relationship with God. John Wesley's words express this relationship beautifully:
O God, fill my soul with so entire a love of Thee that I may love nothing but for Thy sake and in subordination to Thy love. Give me grace to study Thy knowledge daily that the more I know Thee, the more I may love Thee. Create in me a zealous obedience to all Thy commands, a cheerful patience under all Thy chastisements, and a thankful resignation to all Thy disposals. Let it be the one business of my life to glorify Thee by every word of my tongue, by every work of my hand, by professing Thy truth, and engaging all men, so far as in me lies, to glorify and love Thee.
This is from my current bible study, Disciplines of a Godly Woman by Barbara Hughes. I just liked it and wanted to share it:)
