My heart, unless it deceives me, desires supremely and continually no other glory, honour, or happiness than what is to be found in God's service. He is a good Master. I love his service. Lord, nail mine ears to the door of thine house forever. O that I could love thee more and serve thee better! I am slothful. I am negligent. But the Lord hath hitherto borne with me. Give me the honour and privilege of serving thee and living to thee forever. Enable me to double my diligence this year, and press more earnestly after holiness; and live more wholly to thy glory! Amen.
Thomas Charles — Diary, Jan. 1, 1781, in Edward Morgan, A Brief History of the Life and Labours of the Rev. T. Charles, A.B., Late of Bala, Merionethshire (London: Hamilton, Seeley, Hatchard, et al., 1828), p. 74
